A square silk fragment features a muted tan center filled with repeating, swirling gold metallic cloud motifs. A vibrant orange border frames the piece on all sides, containing fragments of the same shimmering patterns. The cloud-like shapes appear to float across the textured background in a dense, organic arrangement. The fine weave is consistent throughout, though slight fraying is visible along the bottom edge.
