No labels, the green beads are some man made plastic or material because they have micro-bubbles in them, though they're not all round. I suspect this makes it more modern than it looks, possibly a replica of a older design?
Sorry I don't have a good enough zoom to show the best detail; the flower and leaf designs have white embroidery beneath them, making the areas raised before the decoration has been added, and most of the rest of the design is various styles, shapes and colours of metal coil. They have different colour threads running inside these coils to show through. The cords and tassels are again metal coil covered threads.
I've not come across anything of this sort before so would really appreciate help from someone who's seen or handled this kind of metal work embroidery in the past.
