Panel from the door of a bed tent. This is the left hand panel of the door, with the embroidered pattern forming half an arch at the top. The ground is a cotton and linen mixture (probably) and the embroidery is worked with red, green, dark purple and cream silk. There is a geometric border in red edged with green along the lower edge and the right hand side of panel. The rest of the decoration is composed of pairs of red leaves alternating with green or purple V-shaped motifs of small, stylised flowers. The ground is scattered with small bird and animal motifs and there is a parrot at the very top.
