Dark blue background with gold bamboo plants. The image shows a close-up view of a textile with a design. The design features several bamboo plants in gold against a dark blue background. The bamboo plants are drawn in a simple style with long, thin stems and leaves at the top. The stems are straight and smooth, and the leaves are feather-like. At the top of the image, there is a horizontal band of gold color that is irregularly shaped. The gold design on the dark blue background gives the impression of a shiny or metallic appearance. The artist of this textile is unknown, but the title is "Textile with Bamboo and Partial Cloud".
