A semicircular light blue silk textile features floral patterns embroidered in glinting gold metal thread. A continuous border of flowers and curving leafy vines follows the curved and straight edges. Near the bottom corners, two small floral sprays point toward the center. The blue fabric shows a fine sheen and subtle horizontal lines throughout, with slight discoloration in the central area.
