A horizontally long fragment of tan silk is embroidered with two floral sprays in primarily muted green, pink, blue, and red threads. Along the bottom, a wavy scroll border with glinting metallic sequins undulates across the width. To the left, a large flower with a blue and red center sprouts numerous thin, radiating petals. To the right, a smaller flower features white, red, and tan petals among green stems and pink-tinged leaves.
