Panel of silk damask woven in salmon pink and brocaded with silver, gilt thread and coloured silks. It is backed with green silk taffeta and edged with gilt braid. The silk has a bizarre design of irrugularly shaped exotic fruit, leaves and sinuous stems. There are two main devices in the design which succeeed one another, a large fruit-like shape and an elongated leaf. Pale pink, blue and green silk account for some of the detail. There are two repeats of the design in the width of the material.
Technical details
