A horizontally long, narrow silk band with a muted green background features an ornate pattern worked in dark metallic thread. Curving stems and stylized leaf shapes flow from left to right across the center. Woven metallic bands define the top and bottom borders. The delicate textile shows signs of age, with frayed ends and loose threads hanging from its weathered edges.
