A silk weave fragment with frayed edges features a large circular medallion centered on a double-headed bird with spread wings. Muted gray, tan, and pink threads form intricate geometric and floral patterns in smaller circular and square medallions flanking the center. To the left, a partial square continues the dense design. Small holes and threadbare patches scatter across the weathered textile.
