DescriptionThis is a flat embroidered cloth, nearly square in dimension. The embroidery is in silk. The silk threads are predominantly crimson, with some light green, yellow, and violet. The embroidery is angular abstract and covers most of the back cloth in densely-packed, yet superbly delicate, design and stitchery. The background cloth is black.
