A vertically oriented velvet textile fragment features a repeating pattern of dark purple rampant lions standing amidst stylized peach flowers on a cream background. Small checkered squares in gold and light blue are scattered between the floral motifs. The cloth shows significant wear, with frayed edges and a horizontal tear on the left. A green border with thin pale stripes runs vertically along the right side.
