A vertically long woven textile fragment features a central band of dark blue adorned with stylized red, green, and yellow plant forms. Flanking this, two wide red bands contain thin, wavy cream-colored patterns. Yellow-tan borders run along the outermost edges, which are rough and frayed. Significant chunks are missing from the right side, and the weathered cloth shows various holes and wear throughout its uneven length.
