A horizontal rectangular panel of deep red velvet features symmetrical vines of glinting gold and silver filé winding across the surface. At the center, a four-lobed medallion contains a vibrant orange flower with blue and green accents. Metallic floral motifs and small, multicolored leaves branch toward the corners. A decorative rectangular border of repeating golden buds frames the composition, silhouetted against the plush crimson background.
