    The Newberry Collection of Islamic Embroideries

    Three parallel bands, the centre one blue, the two outer ones brown. The blue band has a row of interlacing chain, the two brown bands have a diagonal step design. The design is worked in double running stitch, but in addition there is a line of single cross stitch bordering each band.

    The fabric is very loosely woven.
