A vertically oriented salmon-pink silk sash is woven with a shimmering gold zigzag ground. Clusters of green leaves and open folding fans in shades of blue, red, purple, and white dance across the surface. Many fans feature delicate gold-thread details and point in alternating directions, creating a rhythmic, repeating pattern throughout the textile. The warm terracotta base and metallic accents provide a rich, decorative texture.
