A band with stars and rhombic shapes, worked in very fine drawn thread work with needle-woven bars and connecting loop stitch, as well as in pulled work with a variation of four-sided stitch, worked like a double-hem stitch.
The design is apparently made up from both pulled and drawn-thread work, embroidered in fine yellow needle weaving.
The fragment has a radiocarbon date of 1276 AD +/- 33.In: Barnes, Ruth and Marianne Ellis, ‘The Newberry Collection of Islamic Embroideries’, 4 vols, 2001, Oxford, Ashmolean Museum
