This rectangular embroidered panel comes with a fringe of short tassels along the width of the panel. It is created using bead embroidery or threading. This is a technique where the coloured seed beads are stitched onto a base fabric using needle and thread. The design of the panel includes motifs of flowers and birds. Flowers in full bloom are considered auspicious symbols that represent fertility and abundance by the Peranakans.The Penang nonyas, more than their counterparts in Singapore and Malacca, preferred to attach short tassels to the widths of their rectangular embroidered panels. This was to give their work a greater luxurious feel. Such panels were usually used as table covers, panels for picture frames, ornamental hangings, pillow and bolster cases among others.
