    The Newberry Collection of Islamic Embroideries

    A yellow roundel with a border of linked crosses, filled with yellow and purple crosses. All crosses are embroidered in interlacing stitch, but the circular border also has a line of stem stitch on the inside.

    The roundel's ground fabric originally was blue silk, virtually all of which has desintegrated. There is a linen backing.
