A vertical ivory silk satin panel features a pink horizontal stripe at the top. Two symmetrical columns of silk embroidery adorn the lower half. Cascading blue wisteria and butterflies crown each column, while mandarin ducks swim amidst lotus ponds below. Small purple and blue bridges span waters surrounded by lush pink blossoms and green foliage. The embroidery uses shades of blue, green, and pink thread against the plain white ground.
