This textile fragment features a repeating pattern of small red and blue floral motifs with black leaves on a ground of glinting gold silk and metal thread. The cloth consists of several joined pieces with irregular, frayed edges and horizontal seams. A rectangular section is joined vertically on the right, and a large chunk is missing from the upper right corner. The weave appears dense and textured throughout.
