content: Horizontal panel, possibly part of a valance, of red velvet heavily worked in gold thread and colored silks. Graceful flowering vines curve through asymmetrical arrangement of joining S-curves. Flowers in shaded effects, in blues, yellows, greens, and soft rose and outlined with gold thread. The S-curves and bands in gold couched to give a block design. Wide border of gold couched over cord to give raised effect.
