A long, rectangular silk damask textile features a repeating, mirrored deep red pattern. A central, scaled pineapple-like bloom is surrounded by large, jagged leaves. Above, a floral cluster with rounded petals and small buds extends symmetrically. Scrolling vines and delicate blossoms fill the background. The deep red woven texture creates a subtle sheen across the surface, with a visible horizontal seam joining two sections at the bottom.
