Sash

Military sash of embroidered red silk in silver thread in double-sided satin stitch. Edged with a narrow metal bobbin lace. Decorated with an all-over design of closely-packed scrolls and simple leaf shapes. Divided into border and central areas by a pair of parallel lines, and containing the same scrolling pattern. The central area is further divided, at each end, by two pairs of parallel lines, to form two compartments, in one of which the design is worked on a slightly larger scale. The edge is lightly scalloped and decorated with loops of silver thread.
