A vertically long golden silk textile fragment features a repeating pattern of multi-lobed floral medallions spaced along a central axis. These medallions are set against a dense diamond lattice of muted green, brown, and blue threads. Smaller geometric and four-petaled floral shapes occupy the spaces within the shimmering gold lattice grid. Frayed edges at the top and bottom indicate the piece's fragmented state, revealing loose, fine threads of the intricate weave.
