The central clavus, made in tapestry, is decorated with lanceolate leaves in the colours pink, yellowish, green and red, contrasting with the ground which is divided into sections of pink, blue and orangey colours. The two lateral ones are decorated with highly schematic geometrical motifs in the form of pine kernels, layered in different colours. These laterel strips are embroidered.
