A camelid fiber and cotton textile fragment features alternating vertical bands of dark blue and warm red, each filled with an interlocking lattice of small cream diamonds. Thin dark lines separate the bands. The cloth has significant chunks missing, specifically large holes on the far left and toward the right, along with irregular, frayed edges. Softened, aged colors are visible across the fine woven surface.
