The image shows a rectangular piece of dark purple velvet fabric with a green strip along the bottom. The fabric has a raised, ornate pattern throughout. The fabric's color is a deep, rich purple. The fabric's texture appears soft and luxurious. The fabric is set against a beige background. The green strip is a lighter green than the purple of the fabric and appears to be a selvedge or a hem. The green strip is along the bottom edge of the fabric.
