| Place of origin |
Dress fabric of woven silk satin. Brown satin ground woven with a small-scale pattern of confronting birds in offset rows so that they form a lattice design. The colours are light red, yellow, light blue and green but they have faded. There seems to be a triangular arrangement of flowers within each compartment.
