filler. It measures approximately 11 inches by 11 inches. The front
portion is covered with a white open-work warp lace fabric. Located in the
center is a small bow with a flower made from ribbon material and beads.
The edges are finished with a ruffle made of the same white open-work warp
lace. The back has a tie-string made of ribbon. As requested your sample
is being returned.
The applicable subheading for the pillow will be 9404.90.2000,
