A dark crescent moon, gold background, and scattered green plants with white flowers on a screen
Detailed Description
A six-panel screen features a gold background with a speckled texture. In the upper left corner, a large, dark, crescent-shaped object extends across the first two panels. Various plants are scattered across the lower and middle sections of all six panels. On the left side, tall, thin green grasses emerge from the lower edge, interspersed with clusters of green leaves and small white flowers. Moving right, the density of the plants varies, with more clusters of green foliage appearing in the middle ground. White flowers are prominent in the lower sections, forming small groupings. Towards the far right, the plants become sparser, with a few individual dark green stems and leaves, and a couple of small, dark blue or purple flowers near the bottom right edge. The gold background dominates the upper and central areas behind the botanical elements.
