A woman's tsuke ready made obi bow knot (butterfly bow) constructed of "brocade" of (synthetic?) metallic gold ground with nandina (nanten) plant featuring red and also gold berries, dark and medium green leaves, blue leaves, purple leaves, and white, light pink, and off-white cherry blossoms created with long (weft) floats. The bow knot has several layers on one side and one layer on the other with ends that protrude out ward from the knot. Two long narrow gold cotton ties are attached at the back and extend to the sides. A small patch of plain beige silk is found on the reverse center. The bow is attached to an obi aide - a stiffened pink and white fabric covered piece (of leather or vinyl) with two snaps. A stiff covered wire wraps around the wider portion of the aide and holds an oval fabric - covered form between the backing and the bow itself, thus giving the bow height or fullness. This piece appears to be almost entirely hand sewn.
