A rectangular black silk velvet textile features four identical floral bouquets arranged in a two-by-two grid. Each bouquet centers on shaded red and pink roses, surrounded by clusters of purple berries and yellow blossoms. Muted green and beige serrated foliage branches outward from the central blooms. The repeating pattern is set against a solid black ground, with narrow, dark bands running vertically along the left and right edges.
