Dress fabric

Dress fabric of brocaded silk damask. With a bizarre design in crimson damask consisting of a bulb-shape pierced with thorns, a fleshy stem and a broad dagger shape, and superimposed on it, and at times delineating this design, are tapering stems with bizarre fruit and sparse foliage brocaded in silver-gilt thread, frisé in places, and with small details filled in with bright pink silk bound in 3/1 twill. The weft of the damask is of yellow silk. There is a crude 4 cord selvedge.
