A square linen textile features a central pink flower with a yellow middle set within a diamond frame. Small silk and metallic thread star motifs radiate outward toward large pink flowers at the corners, all against a dense, brown-stitched grid. A delicate green vine border frames the composition, finished with a blue trim and two white tassels hanging from the bottom corners.
