A horizontally oriented silk and linen brocade textile features an intricate repeating pattern of pale green over a muted golden-yellow background. Symmetrical leafy motifs are centered within circular frames of curving lines across the surface. Thin vertical stripes of reddish-brown and beige border the far left and right edges. The fine, dense weave creates a uniform texture across the ornate face of the cloth.
