The arrangement of the decoration, which gathers the design alongside the gem, uniformly dispersing smaller stylized motifs on the rest of the fabric's surface, is a stylistic characteristic of the First Empire. The shape itself is also reminiscent of the silhouettes of the second decade of the nineteenth century; a time in which the accessory returns to fashion in a smaller size and with a lighter decorative appearance, following a period of eclipse.
