DescriptionThe ground of the main field is red and is covered with a powder of conventional flowers and leaves in profile. On the ends are bands of hexagonal ornament. Sewed on to the sides are floral borders of much finer weave than the middle. The colors of the design are dark and light blue, soft green, white and yellow. Much darned.
