    The Newberry Collection of Islamic Embroideries

    Two parallel bands with diamonds and rhombic shapes outlined in blue stem stitch. The rhombic shapes once had a red embroidery pattern which can no longer be identified, while the space in between was filled with green embroidery worked in slanted counted filling stitch worked in diagonal rows.

    The bands are 1.5 cm wide and set apart 6.3 cm. There is a finely rolled hem along one side at right angles to the bands.
