Piece from a Summer Kosode (katabira) with Partial Leaf and Stylized Waves
The image shows part of a textile with a stylized design. The design features a large stylized leaf on the right side with a light brown color and purple lines indicating veins. The leaf shape is elongated with a pointed tip and several smaller lines extend from the bottom. On the left side are stylized waves in a darker brown color with lighter brown outlines. The waves are depicted as semi-circles stacked on top of each other. A thin gold line runs diagonally across the image from the top center to the bottom left. The background of the textile is dark gray. The textile appears to be a piece of a summer kosode, also known as katabira. The overall design suggests a traditional Japanese textile pattern.
