A long, narrow vertical silk damask textile fragment features a monochromatic, deep reddish-pink floral pattern. Repeating, undulating motifs of large, rounded blossoms and serrated, curved leaves densely cover the surface. The patterns appear smooth and reflective against a background of fine horizontal ribbing. Near the bottom edge, a horizontal seam crosses the fabric, while a small white thread forms an angle in the lower right corner.
