A horizontally long red silk fragment features a stylized floral pattern in golden yellow, light and dark blue, and green. Large, alternating blossoms repeat across the center, nested among interweaving green leaves and small white buds. Two delicate, white-dotted lines border the top edge. Along the bottom, a wider white border showcases a scrolling vine pattern punctuated with tiny floral shapes.
