Three fragments of taffeta cloth with a decoration of octagons with small birds in their centre. The octagons are double and between the borderlines a volute of highly stylized vine leaves is to be seen. The spaces between the octagons are filled with quadrilobate and heart-shaped rosettes. This design is repeated without variation all over the surface. The decorative motifs in purple stand out against a clear ground. At the back of the material the inverse colour scheme can be observed.

Tres fragmentos de tejido de tafetán con la decoración distribuida en octógonos con pequeños pájaros en el interior. Los octógonos son dobles y entre sus límites se coloca un roleo de hojas de parra muy estilizado. Los espacios entre los octógonos se rellenan con rosetas cuadrilobuladas y cordiformes. Este diseño se repite sin variaciones en toda la superficie. Los motivos decorativos, en púrpura, destacan sobre un fondo claro, siendo en el reverso el colorido inverso.
