A vertically long cream silk cloth is embroidered with a dense arrangement of multi-petaled blossoms. The upper half features large peonies in shades of red, pink, and yellow, interwoven with green leaves and blue accents. This vibrant pattern breaks into a wide expanse of unadorned silk. Near the bottom, a single, isolated sprig of pink flowers and green leaves provides a minimal counterpoint to the lush cluster above.
