Textile with Stylized Flowers and Swirling Stems

A repeating pattern of large stylized blossoms with fan-shaped petals in rust and terracotta, linked by sweeping curved stems and leaves in brown tones on a pale cream ground. The design fills the full rectangular fabric in a flat, rhythmic arrangement with no visible background scene.
