A horizontal silk textile fragment features an asymmetrical pattern of green vines and serrated leaves against a shimmering gray ground. Horizontal stitching textures the foliage. In the upper left, pale yellow flowers with orange centers bloom, while a cluster of small coral-pink berries stems from the lower left. A small, isolated green sprig sits on the far right. The fragment has frayed edges and light horizontal creasing.
