A vertical green silk textile fragment features a large, multi-petaled flower woven in rust and pale gold thread. Smaller floral motifs and leafy vines in reflective gold and light gray decorate the top and bottom against the green ground. Metallic threads create a grid-like texture across the patterns. Worn from time, the fragment has frayed edges along the top and right side.
