A square silk embroidery fragment features repeating diagonal bands of dense floral patterns. Muted salmon, dark-blue, and cream motifs fill wide bands, alternating with thin sage-green borders. Fine, intricate stitching creates a heavily textured surface across the entire piece. The design runs from the upper left to the lower right corner, and the fabric has slightly irregular, frayed edges.
