A horizontally long muted green silk textile is ornately embroidered with raised metallic thread in a symmetrical design. Interlacing bands and curling foliate scrolls create mirrored patterns across the surface. A central star-shaped motif sits between large, circular flourishes formed by the intertwining bands. Small floral motifs with tiny dark red accents punctuate the upper and lower edges. A thin metallic thread border frames the entire, tarnished composition.
