This drawing shows two open books with pages filled with bright flowers and leaves. The colors are soft—pinks, blues, and greens—with some white flowers standing out. The edges of the pages curve gently, and the flowers spill over the borders like vines. The artist paid extra attention to the details, like the tiny buds and delicate petals. The pages look like they’re meant to be stitched into fabric, maybe for a vest or shawl. If you like this kind of floral art, check out the Museum of Ethnography for more pieces like this.
