A vertically rectangular, silk cushion cover features a light green background embroidered with red, white, yellow, and blue. Centered is a large white medallion of radiating petals, bordered by yellow and red points. Above and below are mirrored red and white plant-like forms, flanked by white rectangular motifs. Rows of arched red and white motifs line the top and bottom edges. Scattered small colorful shapes complete the symmetrical floral composition.
