Shawl of cream-colored wool, embroidered with a floral motif in multicolored wool. Square. Center pattern: a frame of palm motifs and flower vines shows palms in three types with a limited inner drawing. There are two turned and forward-facing and one reclining palm. Standing apart from that in the corners is always a large palm or feather with a top bending halfway; the inner decor shows smaller "mother" palms with "child" palms on lap, which jump out of the band. In the center an eight-pointed star pattern, concentrically multiplied, e.g. one with lobed contour; in this stand extremely fine feather motifs. In the middle of the sides a standing palmet with a palm motif changed into cypress shape. Border pattern: separately woven double length strips with vine and rosette pattern and woven-in single cross strips; all with over-embroidered flower petals. Technique: stem stitch.
