An irregular, muted green silk velvet fragment features a monochrome pattern created by raised pile against a flat, woven background. On the left, two wide, vertical wavy bands curve upward. To their right, several rounded, flower-like shapes with serrated edges and scrolling stems decorate the surface. The raised sections appear lighter and more reflective than the flat areas. Frayed edges border the entire textile piece, which is set against a neutral background.
