An embroidery fragment made of silk and gold thread depicts a central lotus flower in a shallow bowl. Layered petals in muted peach and cream radiate from a golden, circular center. Symmetrical sage-green and tan leaves curve upward on either side of the bloom. At the bottom, a dark blue and tan bowl supports the short stem. Intricate stitching creates a dense, textured surface with visible patterns across each shape.
