A square silk and wool textile features a mirrored, deep red and muted pink floral pattern extending from a dark brown central field. Thick, interlocking vines and beige leaves arch outward in a four-way symmetry, dividing the textile into four parts. Repeating teardrop-shaped motifs and light green accents fill the surface to the edges. Short, multicolored fringe in red, orange, and green lines the top and bottom edges of the cloth.
