A horizontally oriented muted green silk textile is ornately embroidered with dark scrolling vines and three-lobed flowers. The narrow, elongated band features two raised rectangular sections near each end. A continuous metallic thread border trims the top and bottom edges, glinting against the fabric. Frayed ends and worn embroidery reflect the textile's age. Dark, vine-like stems weave across the surface from left to right.
