Silk Fragment

Brown silk fabric with a repeating pattern of gold, gray, and tan leaves and flowers. The fabric is rectangular with a rough, frayed edge at the bottom and a thin green border along the left and right sides. The background of the fabric is dark brown. The leaves are gold and tan, and the flowers are gray and tan. The pattern is intricate and repeating, with the leaves and flowers arranged in a curved, vine-like design.
