A vertically long yellow silk embroidery features a symmetrical arrangement of floral and animal motifs. At the top, white and pink blossoms grow from blue branches. Below, golden birds fly with wings spread. In the center, spotted orange creatures with flowing tails stand atop scrolling blue clouds. Large white and orange flowers anchor the bottom. A subtle geometric pattern is stitched into the fabric, providing a textured background to the vibrant embroidery.
