A square terracotta silk textile fragment features an intricate repeating pattern of interlocking hexagonal frames and large circular floral rosettes. Muted green, pale blue, and golden tan hues define the dense blooms, which are surrounded by stylized ruyi clouds and geometric symbols. Along the frayed left edge, a tan border contains a narrow vertical green stripe. The heavy, woven texture highlights a complex lattice of floral and auspicious motifs that shimmer across the surface.
