The Newberry Collection of Islamic Embroideries
A yellow blazon set into a green square; the shield of the blazon is tripartite and has a yellow and blue cup in the middle field.
The leather was cut into a square which measured 9 cm x 9 cm; the measurement given above goes across the diagonal, as that is how the blazon is to be seen.
