A vertically oriented cream silk textile with scalloped borders features an ornate botanical design embroidered in glinting gold and tan threads. A central stalk grows upward from the bottom, branching into symmetrical, curving stems that fill the rectangular surface. Numerous round, textured flower heads and feathered leaves densely cover the branches. The shimmering embroidery creates a radiating, fan-like pattern against the pale background, highlighted by the intricate, repetitive motifs.
