A horizontally long, bright blue silk sash is cinched at the center, creating a bow-like form. Glinting gold floral embroidery with sequins decorates the ends, featuring star-shaped blossoms and curving stems. On the left, two rectangular flaps overlap, while a single section extends to the right. Fine gold fringe trims the vertical edges. Delicate golden dots and vine-like motifs are scattered around the central flowers against the vibrant blue cloth.
