A vertical rectangular silk and linen textile features dense horizontal rows of repeating red, pink, and yellow blossoms. A wide border encloses the central field, containing large, circular pink and orange flower heads linked by scrolling green vines. Intricate, textured embroidery in shades of magenta, gold, and blue nearly conceals the cream background, creating a symmetrical, vibrant display of botanical motifs and verdant leaves.
