Cross-shaped red velvet pattern cover with a cross design in the center. The cross is built up as the focal point by the base which is a raised, gold-embroidered cross that is largely obscured by decoration. At the center is a bright red (fake) jewel from which tendrils of metallic gold thread emanate. Each tread ends in pale metallic sequin sewn onto the embroidered cross. This gold embroidery is echoed in the decoration of leaves and buds found on each of the four arms. The interior of the entire cross is decorated with a border of thin gold rickrack and then an outer border of gold fringe. the back is lined with a silky, lighter red fabric. Supports to keep the arms flat are found at the center and behind the embroidery of the arms.
