The embroidery itself is a symphony of colors, primarily featuring crisp white and lively red threads, forming delicate patterns that frame the mirrors and create a sense of depth and movement. A striking yellow corded embroidery forms a border around the main design, adding a touch of regal elegance and further enhancing the visual appeal.
