A square ocher brown silk textile fragment features repeating horizontal rows of pale gold motifs. Long-necked birds with outstretched wings fly through swirling, cloudlike forms against a fine, diagonal weave background. Plain, unpatterned bands border the top and bottom edges. The gold pattern creates a dense, shimmering field across the surface, marred by several faint, dark stains appearing near the center and left side.
