A collar-shaped silk and gold embroidery on dark brown fabric features symmetrical panels. On each shoulder, a figure in a pink robe holds a string of beads. Red peonies and blue flowers adorn the center, situated above a lower section depicting colorful mountains rising from undulating blue and white waves. A black border frames the entire piece, terminating in a scalloped, pointed shape at the bottom.
