The image is a close-up of a red fabric with gold embroidery on it. The fabric appears to be a traditional Chinese garment, possibly a shawl or a banner. The text on the fabric is written in Chinese characters and is in a traditional font. The background of the fabric has a floral design with gold leaves and flowers. There are also two birds, one blue and one white, flying in the same direction. At the bottom of the image, there is a gold border with a floral pattern. The date "Darwin, September 1913" is also visible in the bottom right corner.
