A horizontally oriented silk and linen embroidery depicts a central band of off-white figures on a burgundy background. Centrally, two animals face a tiered vessel, flanked by human figures, four-legged animals, and birds among wavy lines marked with small characters. Narrow scrollwork borders run along the top and bottom edges. The woven texture is visible, and the left edge is frayed with loose threads.
