A horizontally long silk textile fragment is embroidered with botanical forms against an ivory background. Long, pointed leaves in muted green, yellow, and dusty pink sweep from the left across the center. Toward the right, a pale pink flower with a yellow center grows from a thick black branch. Dense stitching creates a ribbed texture on the plant life. The rectangular piece is finished with frayed edges and trailing loose threads.
