A rectangular compound weave textile with a deep red field features repeating large circular blossoms in cream, teal, and orange. Spiky, curved leaves frame these flowers, punctuated by smaller floral medallions. A wide border containing miniaturized blossoms is mirrored on all four sides, framed by thin golden-yellow bands. A solid red border finishes the outer edges, enclosing a dense, symmetrical display of ornate botanical elements across the entire surface.
