    The Newberry Collection of Islamic Embroideries

    A band with blue outlines, one of which is straight, the other has triangular peaks, each with a trefoil finial. Small red heart shapes with red trefoils fill the triangles, and the same shapes of hearts and trefoil, but stitched in blue, are placed onto small blue cartouches which are set between the triangular peaks. There is the beginning of a further design, of small shapes alternatingly red and blue, set apart by a single red line.
