A dome-shaped peach silk cap features mirrored embroidery along a central vertical seam and an upturned brim. Blue and yellow birds with long necks perch among cream scrolling vines and small yellow, white, and purple flowers. The brim repeats these motifs with a border of bird and floral patterns in blue, yellow, and green thread. The dense embroidery creates a raised, textured surface over the smooth silk fabric.
