    The Newberry Collection of Islamic Embroideries

    A band is filled with a single row of linked red diamonds, each with a cross at the centre; the space between the diamonds is filled with blue triangles. In addition there are border bands along both sides of the band, filled with fine blue triangles and framed with a single row of red interlace.

    At right angles to the band is a rolled whipped hem. There is the beginning of an additional blue embroidery design, but it is so fragmentary that the pattern cannot be read.
