A square textile fragment displays a symmetrical pattern woven in muted golden-brown and dark blue. Large eight-petaled flowers anchor a grid of dark vertical and horizontal lines. Within these sections, smaller circular blossoms and scrolling cloud shapes repeat. The finely ridged cloth has a vertical seam running through its center, while the outer edges appear unevenly cut and slightly frayed.
