A rectangular silk and metal brocade textile features two horizontal panels joined at a central seam. On a muted pink ground, a repeating pattern of scrolling vines and stylized flowers in shimmering gold, silver, and pale green flows across the surface. A thin decorative border with a rounded, repeating pattern frames all four sides. Metallic threads create a reflective, textured appearance throughout the intricate floral composition.
