The multi-directional cross stitch technique is identical to that used on the bed valance. The detached flower pot and leaf motifs are also similar, although both designs are rather more compressed. The panel would have been one of several joined together to make up a bed tent. This would have been suspended from the ceiling completely concealing the bed.
