At the center of the pelena is an appliqué in the form of a four-armed equal-armed cross within dense radiance; around its perimeter is the embroidered text: "Remember me, O Lord, when Thou comest into Thy kingdom"; along the edges is a winding shoot with palmettes set into its recesses.
The pelena is lined with crimson silk fabric.
