There is a plain weave cotton inter-lining.\r\nWhite silk has been used to overcast a pulled thread ground around two motifs in alternate rows:\r\n[1] A faded pink octagon infilled with a light blue eight-pointed star, alternating with a dark blue horizontal cartouche.\r\n[2] A yellow four-pointed star form with a light blue and beige octagonal centre, alternating with a dark blue vertical cartouche.\r\nScattered angular forms are in between these motifs. All were originally outlined in black cross stitch.\nThe border is bias-cut woven silk; this would have been woven as a piece of diagonally striped fabric, and would have been cut to produce bias-cut borders. It is decorated with a thin black meander, bearing pink roses or blue star flowers and either light green parakeets or white doves.\r\nColours (Embroidery threads, 2S silk): white, black, red, pink, yellow, beige, light blue, light turquoise, dark blue, mid-blue [two shades]; (Backing): pink cotton; (Facing): light blue bias-cut satin. \r\n","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28674"},"note":""},{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"designed and made by","id":"x28674"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"Cotton yarn","id":"x30425"},{"text":"Silk thread","id":"x30127"}],"techniques":[{"text":"Weaving","id":"AAT53642"},{"text":"Embroidery","id":"x40351"},{"text":"Sewing","id":"AAT53658"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Cotton yarn, silk thread, weaving, embroidering, sewing","categories":[{"text":"Textiles","id":"THES48885"}],"styles":[{"text":"Caucasian","id":"AAT244536"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"MES","id":"THES48607"},"images":["2017KA1729","2017JT4782","2017JV3773","2011FD8818"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"030","id":"THES312897"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Cover","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Azerbaijan","id":"x30028"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""},{"place":{"text":"Iran","id":"x30220"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":"possibly"},{"place":{"text":"Iran","id":"x30220"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1770-1800","earliest":"1770-01-01","latest":"1800-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":"possibly"}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"456","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"464","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"An ink mark reading 'al 20' on the back."}],"objectHistory":"Items 142-1884 to 264-1884 purchased together for 15s. 7d. from S.
