- A hand-embroidered and stitched, linen, commemorative cushion cover to honour King George V’s Jubilee. The top of the cushion has a banner stitched in a blue wool/cotton mix; it reads “KING GEORGE V”. There is a line of red stitches before and after the letters. The middle of the cushion has an emblem of a shield, stitched in dark brown to denote the edge, the middle part is filled in with brown dye. There is an outline of a beaver embroidered in light brown silk thread; the body of the beaver is dyed light brown. He is on a light green, silk thread, embroidered log with a light brown-dyed background. The shield is dyed yellow. Under that, obscuring most of the shield, is the outline of a maple leaf, with veins and a stem stitched in different shades of green silk thread, and on either side of the maple leaf is a part of a flag; blue and white outline on the viewer’s left, and white, red and blue on the viewer’s right. Two brown, silk, embroidered flag staffs extend from either end. The bottom has a banner stitched in a blue wool/cotton mix; it reads “1910 JUBILEE 1935”. It has been mended with yellow thread in places. The years are stitched in red the rest in blue. On various parts of the cushion cover the blue-coloured pattern shows through the stitching. There is a red and white cord on the outside edges and red piping sewn on the inside edge.
