Two horizontally long cream silk bands are embroidered with dense floral, bird, and butterfly patterns primarily in shades of blue. Tan tones detail the motifs, which cover the left two-thirds of each strip. On the right, the reflective satin weave remains largely plain, accented by a single blue floral sprig. The stitching creates a raised texture against the shimmering cream background of these horizontal matching textiles.
