A square tan silk and linen textile is ornately embroidered with a symmetrical composition of flora and fauna. A rampant brown lion stands centrally between flowering vines, while pairs of rabbits, birds, and potted trees flank the scene. Along the bottom edge, a black gate is framed by large roosters and peacocks. The dense arrangement is worked in muted greens, browns, and blues across the neutral, age-stained fabric.
