The blanket is a machine-made plain blanket, with the scopolamine leaf pattern as the frame, and a pot of peonies, lilies, etc. in full bloom in the interior. The Bible mentions that these two flowers symbolize the holiness and beauty of God. The leaf of scopolamine is a low plant growing along the Mediterranean coast. When it germinates, it is in a scroll shape, and its extended form is full of vitality and beauty. Because the life of plants is particularly vigorous, they are symbolized by rebirth and resurrection. The shell patterns in many places in the carpet also show the artistic style of the western Rococo period.
