A pale tan, vertically oriented silk textile comprises three panels joined by blue and green seams. The ground swarms with repeating rows of fauna and flora in muted green, orange, and black. Spotted cats and camels prowl across small mounds, while large birds perch among fruit-laden trees and slender cypress. Stylized flowers sprout between these motifs throughout the scene. The top and side edges are frayed, meeting at a rounded lower border.
