A silk and metallic thread textile fragment features a repeating pattern of golden-tan medallions on a dark teal background. Two vertical strips are joined by a central seam. Within the medallions are stylized bird-like shapes, while curving vines and leaves fill the surrounding space. The right edge has a thin cream border, while the top, left, and bottom edges are frayed. The golden threads appear slightly worn against the teal ground.
