A vertically oriented woodblock print on cotton and linen textile fragment displays figures and floral motifs in muted red, blue, and black. A central seam bisects the off-white fabric. Center right, a figure with light skin tone dances atop a circular platform. Toward the top right, another balances on a thick, flowering branch. In the lower left, a figure from behind holds a tall spear. Stylized flowers and scrolling leaves wind across the composition.
