A vertically oriented silk and gold thread tapestry on a golden-brown background features a large, multicolored bird descending among flowering branches. Horizontal wavy bands of gold, green, and blue fill the top. Below, the bird with blue wings and an orange body flies toward the right. Vibrant red, white, and yellow peonies grow on green stems among deep blue, stylized clouds containing colorful circles.
