A square textile fragment features a bird amidst stylized foliage on a plum-colored background. Facing right, the bird curves its neck toward a cluster of beige fruit. Woven in cream, pink, and green, it perches above a large, serrated leaf curling from the bottom. Muted pink flowers unfurl in the upper corners. Frayed edges border the composition, revealing the fabric's fragmented state.
