A square peach cotton textile fragment features rows of small, block-printed teardrop motifs. Each dark brown motif is accented with metallic silver leaf and a tiny black dot at the base. These patterns form a dense, staggered grid across the sheer, loosely woven surface. Frayed threads extend from the four uneven edges of the cloth.
