A square brocade textile features multiple vertical strips sewn together, creating columns of mirrored, muted beige floral motifs. Large symmetrical blossoms and stylized foliage unfurl within each column, forming a dense monochromatic pattern. A row of smaller rectangular segments is joined along the bottom edge. Frayed threads line the top of the piece, while subtle shifts in sheen highlight the intricate woven design.
