There are blue and white plum blossoms and greenery embroidered on the bottom half. A gold-colored line runs diagonally across the fabric from the bottom left to the top right. Two white fans are embroidered, partially obscured by the blossoms and greenery. A small young pine tree is also visible on the right side.
