A horizontal silk textile fragment features a mustard yellow ground with dense patterns in blue, green, and red. Frayed edges line the top, bottom, and left side. Repeating octagonal frames enclosing floral motifs alternate with circular patterns, separated by panels of interlocking geometric lines. Stylized blue and green flowers with leafy stems are distributed throughout, while red accents highlight the centers of the various frames and borders.
