A square silk embroidery features a dense central field of small, repeating red and dark brown flowers on a muted gray background. Radiating outward from the center are long, sharp triangular spikes with ivory-colored grounds filled with delicate, scrolling vines. A narrow, tan border containing minute floral designs frames the entire textile. The understated color palette consists of earthy tones including rust red, ivory, and taupe.
