A vertical, rectangular fragment of woven wool features a dense pattern of interlocking, undulating gray bands with small spots over a muted red ground. Within the circular spaces are small floral clusters with blue, red, and yellow petals. A pink and white twisted cord forms a border along the edges. Small dark stains are visible near the center and toward the lower right corner of the textile.
