A horizontally long, golden-yellow silk cushion cover is defined by a central vertical crease. Irregular dark and light stains mark the textile, especially towards the right. Frayed metallic threads catch the light near the upper right corner, breaking the subtle woven texture. The entire piece is finished with a narrow, sewn border along all four edges, showcasing its aged and utilitarian character.
