Gift Cover (Fukusa) with Carp in Waves
Dark blue rectangular fabric with red trim and tassels at the bottom corners. Two large koi fish, one on the top half and one on the bottom half, are swimming in opposite directions. The koi fish have gray heads, white and gray scales, and black fins. The background features white and gold swirling waves. The waves are depicted in various sizes with white lines and gold accents. The fabric appears to be a traditional Japanese design, known as a Fukusa.
