Cover embroidered with blue and red silk and silver thread in cross, chain, buttonhole and stem stitch. At each end of the cover, a border composed of two rows of highly stylized floral sprigs are worked alternately in blue and red silk with alternate red and blue sprigs invested. The cover is divided into rectangles by lines of chain stitch in silver thread, which also form a diaper of octagons and lozenges. The octagons are powdered with crosses, lozenges and triangles.
