A fragment of fabric with embroidered brown and beige flora on a green ground.

A square of cloth which is green, with elaborate leaf shapes depicted in brown and beige horizontal weaving or embroidery. The left side of the fabric has a narrow strip of beige. On the right side, there is a light blue label with two lines of Chinese or Japanese script. The edges of the fabric are dented and fraying in some places, and seems to become lighter in color or faded towards the bottom edge.
