One of my favorites, the silk content and its generous amounts is quite impressive and eye-catching. The ruby tinted red is attractive and combines well with the light blues and greens--and the bright silk highlights of course. The central medallion is actually a landscape, a window into another dimension, which in itself is a brilliant touch. Smaller cartouches pop up in the corners and offer us more intimate looks at that land far, far away. Silk highlights are lavish in the border too. The indigo contrasts beautifully with the lighter tones of the field and the vacant strips either side of the main border design present a remarkable negative space that allows what's around it to shimmer and dance more vibrantly.
