A horizontally long strip of woven silk and silver-metal thread features three parallel bands of floral motifs against a muted gray surface. Each band contains alternating pale orange blossoms and green leafy sprigs, separated by fine horizontal lines. Toward the right, greenish vertical streaks partially obscure the patterns. Small, intricate details appear throughout the fabric's textured surface, which forms a single, narrow horizontal strip.
