This whitework coverlet is made of three panels of woven cotton fabric that have been seamed together. It is embroidered with heavy white cotton thread in a variety of stitches and includes areas of drawnwork. The piece is decorated with a central basket with a flowering tree and birds, which is surrounded by a ribbon border and a wide outer border of vines and flowers. The fringe is a recent reproduction of the original.
