    The Newberry Collection of Islamic Embroideries

    A roundel with a fine rolled hem all around, with a yellow and red border encircling four green quatrefoils. Each of these contains a central red dot and four red crescents. Linked red or yellow half-palmettes are arranged to form circular shapes, set into the spaces between the quatrefoils; there were five of these circles originally, of which four remain.
