Wallpaper has an all-over floral pattern of sprigs and sprays with large flowers on leafy stems accented by berries and small stylized flowers on a background pattern of stylized foliage. Roller-printed. The partial roll is printed in red, yellow, blue, black and three greens on a cream ground. The complete roll is wrapped in clear plastic with red stripes and a horse and rider oval cartouche logo.
