A rectangular jacquard weave and velvet textile features a repeating vertical pattern of glinting gold, wavy lines against a black background. These thin lines curve outward and taper together to form pointed, leaf-like shapes arranged in a staggered grid. Each shape contains several nested, undulating lines following its outer contour. The high-contrast design creates a sense of rhythmic movement across the plush black velvet surface detailed with metallic gold filé.
