Description
This framed textile artwork features polychrome silk thread embroidery on a cream-colored silk ground. The composition displays two long-tailed birds, likely golden pheasants, perched on branches adorned with large red and pink peonies, orange blossoms, and stylized green foliage. The needlework employs techniques such as satin stitch and split stitch to provide texture to the plumage and petals. A vertical calligraphic inscription in the upper left corner includes the Japanese hiragana character の, translating to the sentiment The overflowing fragrance of flowers (花香の溢). The piece is set within a gilt-wood frame designed with a faux bamboo motif, a style common for East Asian export items during the mid-20th century.
