A square brocade textile features three horizontal rows of floral sprigs with pops of pink and pale blossoms leaning right across a shimmering gold ground. Lime green stems anchor the flowers, which are separated by bands of pink diamonds and green leaves. A wide floral border frames the entire composition. Fine silk threads detail these organic shapes across the woven fabric, and the bottom edge is finished with a red and tan fringe.
