A horizontally long silk textile fragment features rows of stylized clouds in muted blue, green, and white against a tan background. Curled, swirling motifs float between larger, serrated brown forms accented with light pink. The edges of the cloth are frayed and irregular, with a few dark threads visible near the top right corner. The repeating pattern flows across the surface, appearing as a segment of a larger, continuous design.
