A vertically long dark green wool velvet textile fragment features an intricate pattern of curving vines, serrated leaves, and pomegranate-like fruit created through surface texture. The fabric displays a jagged right edge and a small, circular hole near the center. A lighter, tan-colored selvedge runs vertically along the straight left border. The rich green color is slightly faded in vertical streaks, highlighting the complex foliate motif across the textile.
