A vertically long textile features an embroidery of silk and metal strips on a linen ground. A repeating grid of small squares in muted green, red, dark blue, and tan contains four-petaled floral motifs. A thin border with a zigzag pattern edges the rectangle. Subtle shifts in color density create a lighter central area and darker sections toward the right. The dense motifs form a structured, mosaic-like composition across the surface.
