This anonymous design for wallpaper or a panel features three phoenix-like birds with colorful feathers perched on a flowering tree branch within an ornamental frame. The frame resembles a tapestry with tassels, and the design is typical of the Orientalist trend of the late 19th century, which was popular in Europe. This trend incorporated motifs from the Middle East and Asia in interior design, textiles, and visual art. The bright colors and intricate details make this design visually striking and a fascinating example of the artistic trends of the time.
