An irregularly shaped, pale moss green velvet and silk textile fragment features a raised floral pattern of winding stems and jagged leaves. Rounded flower heads with scalloped petals repeat across the surface, their fuzzy texture contrasting against a flat silk ground. The piece has a straight top edge and a curved bottom edge on the right, with frayed borders indicating where it was cut from a larger cloth.
