A vertically oriented muted green silk and metal brocade fragment features a repeating pattern of shimmering light-beige floral motifs. These curved, scalloped shapes contain delicate circular details and are set against a lustrous background. Two horizontal seams divide the long, narrow textile into three segments, with frayed edges appearing in several places. The fabric's subtle sheen highlights the intricate floral forms that cover its entire length.
