label: Description
content: Unrelated pieces sewn together so that two yellow guard borders appear on the right and left of a dark green field section which has floral sprays in let-in wools in red and beige shading into pale blue (painted?) blue-green and tan with silk chain-stitch outlines and details in beige, yellow and orange. Guard borders have a design of alternately up and down turned flower heads in scallops of serpentining stem in the same technique. Couched striped silk cords set off guard strip and field except at modern joining.
