A wedge-shaped deep red velvet fragment features a centered pattern of large lobed leaves and symmetrical floral shapes created by varying textures. On the left, a narrow tan strip lines a straight vertical edge, while the top edge curves to a tapered point on the right. The plush velvet ground provides a dark backdrop for the slightly lighter, intricate foliate motif branching out from the center of the textile surface.
