A vertical block-printed linen fragment features three patterned columns on a cream ground. The central column displays repeating, large teardrop motifs with intricate internal designs. Two flanking columns contain continuous scrolling vines with circular flowers and smaller blossoms. Muted red, light blue, and grayish-purple pigments define each shape. Thin vertical stripes separate the columns, creating a rhythmic, rectangular composition. The piece highlights a symmetrical arrangement of traditional floral and paisley motifs.
