    The Newberry Collection of Islamic Embroideries

    Sampler with partly-worked patterns of flowering plant motifs, stylized floral motifs, and two bands of geometric whitework; a band with chevron and narrow chevron borders is attached at one side.

    There is a mending seam, and an additional run-and-fell seam joins two pieces. The double running stitches are worked in coloured thread, the remainder in white.
