A vertically oriented textile fragment with uneven edges, seamed down the center, displays figures and botanical motifs in muted red, blue, and purple on cream fabric. At the top, a light-skinned figure in a blue jacket walks along a branch. Centered, another light-skinned person holding a drumstick balances on a platform. Below, a figure with a light skin tone holds a spear. Stylized flowers and leaves are scattered throughout.
