    The Newberry Collection of Islamic Embroideries

    A row of five blue and and one red diamond(s) each filled with a cross, with a single red band of red cross stitch and running stitch along one side; three small sample areas embroidered in green, showing four parallel rows, as well as a single diamond with a cross inside.
