Coverlet made from different coloured silk hexagons in the centre with a border of silk diamonds outlined with yellow braid. The central hexagon of each rosette has a different painted flower. The coverlet is edged with a striped fringe border. This coverlet was probably intended as a decorative table cover rather than a practical item.
