Blue and gold patterned fabric with floral design. The fabric is rectangular and has a gold border. The pattern on the fabric is made up of various gold shapes, including flowers and leaves, on a blue background. There are also some green and white accents in the design. Small orange text in the bottom-left corner. The fabric appears to be old and worn, with some discoloration and fraying around the edges. "Piece" by artist unknown.
