This is a painting of two intricately embroidered textile pieces. The top piece is decorated with colorful floral embroidery against a warm red and brown background. A central yellow flower with black center stands out among other smaller flowers in blue and red hues, surrounded by green leaves. Below is a similar textile piece with its top flap open, revealing a lighter pinkish-red interior. The lower embroidered area also contains a floral pattern, featuring a central yellow flower among smaller red and blue flowers, with green leaves.
