Rectangular piece made by joining together two fragments. The larger orange one, which retains the side selvages, has an abstract design stenciled in gold and formed of gold stenciled motifs that could be interpreted as birds. The second, smaller fragment is positioned at the lower end to finish the other one, and has a shimmering blue background decorated with plant motifs and scrolls stenciled in gold. Three straight, blue bands frame the border. It has a clear Oriental influence.
