A square silk and cotton textile features a black center field where scrolling red and white floral vines radiate in a symmetrical, four-part layout. Large teardrop-shaped flower clusters occupy the inner corners. A dense, wide border containing repeating pink and red floral motifs on a light ground frames the field. Blocks of black, red, and yellow fringe extend from the top and bottom edges.
