A vertically long silk textile fragment features a repeating pattern of stylized floral blossoms in soft orange, tan, and dark brown against a muted golden-yellow ground. Interweaving blue stems and leaves connect the floral motifs across the surface. Frayed threads line the top and bottom edges. A worn area near the bottom right reveals loose blue and tan threads where the weave has deteriorated, showing the textile's fragile condition and faded, once-vibrant palette.
