A vertically oriented silk textile fragment features a central band of three dark purple peacocks, each enclosed within a diamond frame against a vibrant orange ground. Small red floral shapes separate the diamonds. On either side, vertical borders contain repeating rows of small, dark bird silhouettes. The fragment shows frayed threads along its top and bottom edges, with the overall palette dominated by warm, saturated red and orange tones.
