A two-panel silk album features a slender branch with muted green leaves arching over a split pomegranate. Its rind peels back to reveal clusters of translucent pink seeds, with a tiny red seal marking the far left. The right panel remains a blank, off-white silk expanse. Both are framed by a broad gold border woven with intricate, repeating geometric and floral motifs that catch the light.
