A tie-dyed wool textile fragment consists of multiple joined pieces forming a horizontal rectangle. Dark blue sections feature diagonal rows of small, blurred beige and red diamonds alongside large beige X-shapes. To the right, a rectangular red fragment showcases beige diamond patterns. Frayed edges and significant holes mark the piece, including a jagged central opening where a dark green segment, patterned with ochre diamonds, meets the dark blue cloth.
