A square silk and linen textile features repeating rows of small, pink and green floral motifs on an off-white ground. Centered is an eight-pointed star with a thin blue border enclosing several blossoms. A tan octagonal line frames the inner field, while a narrow border of tiny flowers runs along the outer edge. The muted palette and delicate embroidery create a faded, symmetrical composition across the patterned surface.
