A vertically oriented silk textile fragment features repeating columns of large fan-shaped beige and gold flowers alternating with circular blossoms on a dark blue ground. Swirling green and silver foliate vines weave throughout the dense pattern. Reddish-orange highlights accent the blossoms along the lower edge. The intricate design displays a subtle sheen, while frayed threads and uneven margins mark the vertical sides of the fabric.
