Description
Apron, red cotton, with horizontal bands of alternate cross-stitch embroidery and lacework, with broad lace trim round the edge and plain red cotton ties. The top embroidered band has a motif of peacocks in blue and yellow threads on a red ground. The other embroidered bands all bear geometric motifs: red, white and yellow theads on dark blue; blue and white threads on orange, and mostly white threads on red. The three horizontal lacework bands are all of the same pattern, with a scrolling frieze of counterchanged flowerheads in red, blue and cream thread. The lace border of the same colours but a different pattern.
