A vertically long woven silk textile with a solid deep pink center. Wide horizontal bands at the top and bottom feature rows of large, teardrop-shaped motifs filled with red and cream floral patterns. Thin versions of these patterned borders frame the vertical edges. Four larger paisley shapes project into the central field from each corner. A narrow, shimmering patterned border finishes the outer edge of the rectangular cloth.
