From its angles emerge four hexagons, formed by geometricised twisted vines, with linear representations of vine leaves and bunches of grapes filling the interspaces. The diamond contains the first letter of the Greek alphabet, Alpha, and the last letter, Omega. The hexagons contain similar roundels enclosing, from the top and clockwise, the angel representing St. Matthew, the lion representing St. Mark, the eagle representing ST. John and the bull symbolising St. Luke.

In supplementary 'copper' wefts composed by flat 'copper' strips wound around yellow silk cores. The fabric is woven with two shuttles, one for the satin ground and one for the weft pattern. The veil commences and ends with strips of repp weave and has two selvedges of cream and scarlet silk and 'copper' gilt.
