Dark blue and gold fabric with a floral pattern. The fabric is rectangular with rough, frayed edges. The background of the fabric is dark blue with a diamond-shaped geometric pattern.

The fabric appears to be damaged, with some areas of the gold pattern worn off, particularly at the top and bottom edges. The title of the piece is "Piece" and the artist is unknown.
