A silk textile fragment features a pointed oval medallion on a teal blue background. Woven with glinting gold metal thread, the medallion contains floral patterns in primarily light blue and white within a scalloped, white-dotted red and pink border. A vertical seam joins two sections down the center. Frayed edges and loose threads line the irregular outer border, which tapers to points at the top and bottom, with chunks worn away along the sides.
