A horizontal silk and metallic thread textile features a central blue-outlined medallion filled with symmetrical pink blossoms and winding green vines. Across the yellow ground, delicate foliage branches into smaller red and pink flowers. Borders of repeating blue, red, and yellow square-spiral patterns frame three sides, while the right edge displays frayed white threads. This composition balances ornate organic motifs at the center with rigid geometric framing along the edges.
