Bone or ivory drum-shaped off-white base, with green fabric (possibly velvet) cushion nesting in the top of the drum. Cushion is separated into with sections by strands of beige-colored thread, with a close-cut tassel of thread in the center. Top and bottom edges of the base are decorated with beading and the middle of the base has four rings of reeding [sic].
