fun fact: 
The large size and square form suggest that this textile would likely have been used as a table cloth.

digital description: 
Notable for its bright and valued colors, this cover has a needle lace border of natural and organic motifs attached to a silk cloth. The lace is divided into two registers, possibly representing stylized plants and flowers growing above ground with their roots growing in pots beneath them.
