A silk and metallic thread textile fragment features a repeating pattern of stylized gold birds flying in alternating directions against a dark blue background. The birds are rendered with horizontal ribbing, showing long necks stretched forward and thin legs trailing behind. This roughly square fragment has frayed, uneven edges along the top and bottom where the dark blue weave dissolves into loose threads.
