Print
A vertically oriented ivory satin textile ornately embroidered with a tapering botanical design. A central stalk grows upward, supporting large brown, teal, and maroon leaves alongside textured golden-brown pods. Tan bell-shaped flowers and clusters of tiny blue blossoms extend across the fabric. A horizontal arrangement of similar pods and leaves lines the bottom edge. Delicate branching patterns weave through the composition, creating a lush floral display against the silk background.
