Silk brocade by unknown artist. Rectangular piece of fabric with one corner cut off and top side partially cut off. Fabric has a tan background with a repeating pattern featuring large pink flowers, green vines, and small pink and purple flowers. The pattern has symmetrical elements resembling a vase or urn with curved handles and a floral design. Smaller floral patterns and leaves are scattered throughout. The fabric appears to be made of silk and has a shiny, smooth texture. The edges of the fabric are rough and frayed. The background behind the fabric is plain and light gray.
