A vertically long velvet textile fragment of dark red features a narrow strip widening into a sharply angled, frayed top. The pile is patterned with faint floral motifs, including a large bloom in the upper third, created by variations in texture and wear. The piece terminates in a straight bottom edge, emphasizing a rich monochromatic hue and weathered silhouette across its elongated vertical composition.
