A diamond-shaped textile fragment features an eight-pointed orange motif bordered by gray-blue. A thin, cream-colored line loops through the center, forming a symmetrical four-lobed geometric pattern. The cloth shows significant signs of age, with frayed edges and small holes throughout. Dark spots of discoloration mark the orange surface, while the pointed corners exhibit notable material loss, cutting into the overall shape.
