Martina has been heavily embroidered, with the backing then removed. A fine cording has then been used to highlight the edges of the leaves and petals whilst small beads have been hand sewn on to the petals and border.
As you can see from the photo, the borders do not match, with one side being foliage and the order being flower bud type shapes. At its widest point, this edging measures 11.5cms (4.5")
