A horizontally oriented woodblock print on cream cotton features winding botanical patterns in muted red, blue, and dark brown. Arcing stems sprout small leaves and star-shaped blossoms across the surface. Larger multi-petaled red flowers anchor the center right and lower left. The fragment shows frayed edges and a small puncture in the upper left. Delicate blue and brown flowers are scattered throughout the rhythmic, interconnected vines.
