An asymmetrical, fan-shaped crimson velvet textile features joined fragments with a curved top opening. A dense botanical pattern showcases stylized pomegranate heads enclosed within elegant, looping vine frames. The cut and voided silk technique creates a rich contrast between raised plush motifs and the smooth, flat background. Extending broadly toward the left and tapering to the right, the fabric features a structured layout of interconnected floral designs and delicate, interwoven vine work.
