There are also sprays of blue flowers, and two separate pink buds to each side of the central spray. Each spray of flowers is depicted as being tied with a piece of cream coloured ribbon. Also embroidered in cream coloured silk are flowers, seed pods and decorative sprays. On either side of the central spray are three narrow, self coloured stripes.
