This drawing shows a faded, yellowed paper with bright floral patterns. The design looks like a mix of vines and flowers in pink, blue, green, and yellow, arranged in curved shapes. Some areas have thin gold lines outlining the sections, and the whole thing looks like it might be a plan for embroidery. The flowers are arranged in repeating patterns, almost like a border or a decorative band. The paper itself looks old and worn, with some stains and damage along the edges. If you like this kind of floral design, check out the Museum of Ethnography for more examples.
