DescriptionGround of deep pink wool, in which is an all over outlined design of branches forming oval and lozenge-shaped motifs, each encloses alternately a bird (peacock ?) and a candelabra-like tree that stems from a vase (?); of natural-colored linen. Color and design suggest an imitation of Byzantine silk. Similar to 96.324.
