Long, rectangular piece made of beige velvet in different shades, with a plant design stenciled in green. This is made up of three large bands formed of pomegranates framed by floral outlines alternating with other smaller ones, and with two pomegranate motifs and more floral outlines. It is lined with beige fabric.

In this fabric, Fortuny has copied a Renaissance design with pomegranate as the central theme, in an attempt to capture the appearance of brocade velvet.
