Horizontal, square piece. Plant design stenciled in beige on a verdigris background with different shades of color, consisting of branch and leaf motifs on the left and three large pomegranate motifs on the right. It is lined with an ecru supporting fabric that acts as edging.

In this design, Fortuny attempts to imitate Venetian brocade fabrics of the 16th century with their pomegranates, thick branches and fleshy leaf frames.
