A vertically long, muted green brocaded textile features a symmetrical composition with a large central diamond motif decorated in tan, black, and navy. Elongated, peacock-like floral motifs flank the center. Top and bottom borders contain repeating pink teardrop-shaped paisleys, while a white inner border features a black hook pattern. Tan and silver-toned threads define the intricate geometric designs and botanical patterns across the central field and decorative bands.
