    The Newberry Collection of Islamic Embroideries

    Flowers on stems with leaves with a scrolling stem border beneath, worked in dark-blue chain stitch outlines with red background filled with slanted counted stitch. There also are the remains of two tabs worked in needlelace, with a design of yellow squares divided into triangles.

    The border of the cotton fabric has a rolled hem. The needlelace is worked on a framework of coarse cotton threads.
