A rectangular silk and metallic textile fragment features horizontal rows of large peony blooms repeating down a dark navy blue background. Gleaming gold, pale pink, and silvery-white flowers are framed by curving, muted green stems and serrated leaves. Smaller buds and foliage fill the gaps, creating a dense, structured arrangement. Shimmering metallic threads accent the floral motifs, which stack vertically to form a rich, repeating pattern across the woven surface.
