Border with Gilded Vine Scrolls on Green Ground

A long, narrow horizontal border shows gold leafy vine scrolls with small buds and tendrils running across a dark green band edged in gold lines. The flat, block-printed design repeats evenly along the strip, with the foliage rendered in a slightly raised golden tone against the green.
