A muted brown hemp fragment with an irregular vertical shape features a coarse weave of thick, twisted yarns. Significant chunks are missing, specifically a deep indentation cutting into the left side. The worn material is frayed along the jagged edges where loose fibers extend. The rough, fibrous threads are evident throughout, creating a ragged silhouette against the beige surface it is spread flat on.
