Large rectangular (width exceeds height) printed cotton velveteen bedcover with large scale ogee design enclosing stylized peacock feathers in black, cocoa brown, cinnamon, and beige with gold outlines and sections of trangular linear design also in gold metallic paint or dye. The bedcover consists of one full width of cloth joined to two partial widths on either side with two narrow intervening bands of black fabric printed with nested triangles formed of narrow gold metallic lines. The motif on the black bands appears to coordinate with the gold metallic designs on the larger panels. The bedcover seams are double folded with no selvages or cut edges showing. The top and bottom edges are hemmed.
