Appendages
The image depicts a light blue fabric piece with a butterfly design, titled "Appendages" by an unknown artist. The piece is shaped like a long, narrow triangle with a rounded bottom, resembling a paddle or a spoon. The object features a long, narrow handle with a black border and white decorative stitching on both sides. The bottom of the piece widens into a butterfly shape with a body and two wings. The butterfly body is white with a red symbol, and its head has two red beads for eyes. The butterfly wings are light blue with gold, white, and red designs, and a black and gold border. The background of the image is light gray. The piece appears to be a decorative item, possibly a Chinese appendage.
