Print
A square-shaped mustard yellow cotton textile is densely covered with a repeating woodblock print of stylized pink blossoms, green foliage, and blue bird-like motifs. Fine dark purple vines interconnect the botanical elements, creating a uniform, all-over pattern. Along the bottom edge, the fabric is slightly frayed, revealing a thin horizontal band of white cloth.
