A vertically long white silk textile consists of two rectangular bands joined at the top by a knotted bow with extending silk cords. Each band features ornate, gold-colored floral embroidery with curved, foliate sprigs and small flower heads accented by glinting metallic discs. The bottom edge of each panel terminates in a thick fringe of gold metal thread. The cream-colored silk provides a neutral ground for the shimmering metallic ornamentation.
