A horizontal cotton and camelid fiber textile fragment features a large rectangular void and frayed edges on the left. Vertical bands of dark brown and vibrant red frame dense sections of interlocking geometric hooks and stepped scrolls. A pale, tasseled fringe border trims the right edge. The aged, weathered fabric shows heavy wear, highlighting the complex patterns and rich surface textures that punctuate the dark weave with bright red accents.
