    The Newberry Collection of Islamic Embroideries

    An continuous tendril is set into a band and repeated mirror-symmetrically. Small paired leaves emerge from the vine.

    The band is embroidered over two layers of cloth; the finer one on top seems to be linen, the lower one cotton. The shape of the band suggests that it was used as a collar or sleeve.
