| Place of origin |
Silk bag face, double cloth, with four widthways repeat of design which is picked out in cream silk on an oyster-coloured ground. Three lengthwise repeats of an ogee compartmentalised design enclosing buttercup-like clumps of flowers surrounded by trailing acanthus leaves and meandering flowering plants.
The fabric structure, although a conventional double cloth, is lightweight and woven from two silks, one showing a tusser in its raw unbleached state.
