A vertical salmon pink silk fragment features horizontal rows of repeating floral sprigs. Alternating rows of blue and yellow-green blossoms sit atop delicate white, curving stems, surrounded by faint white floral silhouettes. Narrow green borders with small, decorative loops frame the vertical edges. The composition is defined by the rhythmic repetition of these colorful motifs against the lustrous, pink ground.
