A horizontally long yellow silk band is embroidered with repeating rectangular spiral patterns in metallic and silk threads. Dark blue outlines define each shape, which contains layered lines of pink, red, and muted green. Organized into four sections, the design repeats across the textile. Fine metallic threads highlight the borders of each form, creating a glinting effect against the solid background.
