A silk and gold thread embroidery fragment features a central, stylized lotus with layered petals in shades of dusty rose, terracotta, and tan. A green seed pod sits at its core, framed by symmetrical, flame-like scrolls in orange and green that curve upward. Below, a horizontal green and tan base supports the stem. The dense needlework creates a rich, looped texture throughout, highlighting the muted, earthy tones of the floral motif.
