A horizontally long dark blue silk band is embroidered with primarily glinting gold and colorful silk threads. Five large, needle-looped flowers in red, off-white, pink, and yellow feature diamond-patterned centers. A continuous scrolling golden vine connects these blooms, sprouting pointed leaves in muted green, orange, and tan. Narrow red stitched borders line the top and bottom edges, framing the repeating floral patterns of the textile fragment.
