Horizontal, rectangular piece with irregular edges. Maroon background with a floral plant design in yellow. There are three fragments of black supporting fabric on the back.
Brocade with two wefts of linen and yellow silk and two warps of red and yellow silk. Weave composed of satin and twill. A large decorative motif fills the entire pattern. It shows a large fleshy flower with fruit in middle and seeds, crowned by two pomegranates at the top and large leaves at the bottom.
Judging by the size of the motif and the weight of the materials used, this is a tapestry fabric.
