A vertical woven textile fragment features two large, flame-like boteh motifs in muted red, blue, and green against a cream ground. These teardrop shapes are densely packed with interweaving floral vines and stylized blossoms. A horizontal border of tiny flowers lines the bottom. Frayed, irregular margins indicate a fragment, while the ornate, intricate pattern creates a thicket of delicate foliage and petal clusters throughout, filling the entire surface.
