Description: | Red cloth, richly embroidered with gold and silver threads. The saddle is made of two parts of cloth; the external one bears the decoration. It has rows of iterative decorative motifs the same at both sides, shaping leaves and rounded crosses. The upper decorative part situated in a square shape bears three rows of rounded crosses on each side and between them it is embroidered a leaf with sharpened edge, standing on a triangular base from where they start and are shaped two circles. The top of the saddle is once more decorated in its external side with embroidered leaves and rounded crosses.
The saddle’s red cloth is damaged at some parts, while some threads have also been damaged. Needs conservation. Part of this saddle may have been the tassels found in the store.
