This is quite beautiful, with so much detail. All parts are well made. The material on the front is really white, but it has a gold thread running throughout, so gives it the look of beige. Gives a light sparkle. The sewn-on stripe also has a sparkly center. The horses are sewn on with careful stitching, no rough edges. The back of the pillow is a dark gray material. Although lumbar-sized, it is overstuffed, so I can't picture using it as a lumbar pillow. But gorgeous for adding to the room decor.
