A vertically oriented silk velvet textile in gold, magenta, and blue centers two large, plush medallions with green and yellow cores on a white background. Above and below, blue and magenta diamond motifs rest on a warm yellow field. Jagged purple lines zigzag vertically through the piece, separating the blurred, feathered shapes. The soft texture and ikat-style edges create a rhythmic, geometric pattern across the length of the fabric.
