    The Newberry Collection of Islamic Embroideries

    Two end borders with a repeating design of floral motifs; each motif has three pear-shaped stylized flowers on stems.

    Two pieces are joined: the embroidery of one is red, blue, and yellow, of the other it is blue and cream. Two rolled hems are oversewn with buttonhole stitch.
