Linen damask napkin with iris and the year 1748. The central field, consisting of interlocking square band frames, between which are checkered diamond and star figures, passes without a dividing line into the border with triangular fields between zigzag motifs ending in spirals, both checkered, latticed, and bearing flower branches. In the corners, an iris is placed diagonally, and within a rectangle 1784. Around: block border.
