Play fair probably originally of green velvet embroidered in gold, silver thread and multicolored silk with the Paris city coat of arms, silver thread and multicolored silk with the Paris city coat of arms. Model: The flat round bottom has a wavy raised edge with holes through which a cord (missing) could be drawn. A button with a core of wood and wound with a floss is sewn on two sides on the edge. The fabric of the raised edge has disappeared almost everywhere between the embroidered ornaments. The loose ornaments seem to have been sewn to the bottom again with large black silk stitches. Lined with goat leather. Decoration: the 20 bulges or 'ribs' were decorated with alternating stacked ornaments. A horizontal line of silver thread ran just below the edge. Along the top there is only a small remnant of the bullion that originally camouflaged the seam between lining and fabric. The bottom is circled with a double border with a zigzag line of silver thread inside. This embroidered the city coat of arms of Paris in relief, surrounded by a lambrequin lying on a field with a silver, blue with gold fleur de lys and red strip (from top to bottom). Paris curled on top of the lambrequin, anonymous, France, c. 1670 - c. 1820, rand, voering, borduurwerk, knop, embroidering, h 8 cm × d 12 cm
