A vertically oriented sage-green silk textile fragment features a raised, brownish-orange pattern of large blossoms and winding leafy stems. Centered amidst the foliage, a winged creature with geometric patterns on its wings faces right. The weave creates a visible vertical texture throughout the muted background. Frayed along the top and left edges, the bottom of the fragment shows dark, reddish-brown discoloration. Blossoms and leaves fill the corners and margins.
