Sewn together with two pieces, this blue-foundation satin with a smooth, lustrous surface is mainly adorned with embroidered flowers of chrysanthemum, crabapple and peony, plants endowed with auspicious meanings such as longevity, unparalleled beauty, charming spring, etc. Chamomile blossoms and vines scattering around serve as foil to the main decorative pattern. The well-designed composition exudes a sense of vitality though elements are arranged in a nicely-balanced manner, giving the entire piece an elegant, soothing look.
