A rectangular woven wool fragment features three horizontal bands on a tan background, frayed along all edges. The top and bottom strips contain repeating reddish-brown geometric motifs, while a wider central band displays dark brown stylized script. Significant horizontal gaps separate the middle section from the outer patterns where the fabric has worn away. Dark border lines frame each band, defining the contrast between the intricate motifs and the weathered textile.
