An irregular vertical fragment of cream tabby weave textile is patterned with dense flowers and foliage in muted orange, teal-blue, and tan. Large multi-petaled blossoms are surrounded by smaller flowers and jagged leaves. To the right, a faded black mark appears against the ground. A horizontal tan fabric strip borders the frayed bottom edge. The fragment's edges are torn and tattered, revealing the underlying weave.
