| Place of origin |
Furnishing fabric of brocaded silk with silk and silver threads. The silk has a white ground with a formal pattern, partly brocaded in red and green silk and silver thread, and partly carried by the damask pattern in the ground. The damask pattern forms a series of compartments containing snow flake motifs in silver and silk, either in red or green. There are three different motifs, but the design is probably incomplete.
The binding warp is taken from the ground warp - 1 thread in 4 is used for binding the pattern. Tabby pattern ground. The weft is 1 thick, 1 thin ground weft and 1 brocaded weft.
