A woven silk textile fragment features a dense, repeating pattern of faceted, elongated hexagons in muted olive-green. The rectangular cloth has irregular, frayed edges and small, pale spots scattered across the surface. A vertical seam divides the center, and a diagonal seam cuts across the upper right corner. This geometric pattern creates a shimmering, textured effect over the entire horizontal fragment.
