A vertically oriented strip of deep burgundy velvet features an irregular, wider top angled toward the right. The plush, rich pile serves as a dense background for a faint, repeating pattern pressed into the surface. Frayed, uneven edges border the rectangular fragment. Subtle shifts in color and shading across the fabric's length suggest a textured surface, with the worn pile alternating between deep shadows and vibrant highlights.
