An irregular fragment of deep red velvet and silk tapers toward one side, patterned with light red floral motifs and scrolling vines. Symmetrical flower clusters nestle between larger blossoms, some featuring a raised pile against flat sections. The worn fabric shows small holes and jagged top edges where it was disassembled. Delicate, light-colored lines trace the curving vines, connecting the ornate floral designs across the rich, crimson surface.
