The ornamentation of this box is both novel and tasteful. It is
embroidered in coloured silks, upon light blue cashmere. Part of the
embroidery pattern is given in full size. All the outlines are worked in
overcast, the stitches being made rather long and slanting, and the
small leaves are each composed of one stitch, as in point Russe. The
leaves are alternately red and yellow upon a green stem; the scalloped
outline which has no leaves is red.
