A semi-circular silk and metal brocade textile fragment features a symmetrical pattern of golden scrolling foliage and stylized flowers against a deep red background. The shimmering gold design centers on a vertical axis, with mirrored branches of leaves curling outward. Small repeating square-like textures appear within the red gaps between motifs. The fragment has a flat top edge and a wide, rounded bottom, with slight fraying visible along the perimeter.
