A horizontally long velvet fragment in a muted bronze hue features rows of interlocking square grids and stepped borders. Inside each square, an intricate eight-pointed star is rendered in raised, textured pile. A large, dark-brown stain spreads across the right side, partially obscuring the geometric pattern. The fragment has worn and uneven edges, revealing its aged character.
