A vertical silk textile fragment features a repeating pattern of octagonal frames and interlocking geometric fretwork. Muted green serves as the ground for red and blue outlined frames enclosing delicate blossoms, staggered with clusters of blue lines. The fragment is frayed along the top, bottom, and right side, where the woven fibers dissolve into loose strands. Muted pops of red and blue punctuate the dense, stylized floral and geometric composition throughout.
