Textile fragment of brocaded silk. Off white silk with a floral pattern in coloured silks. There are sinuous green stems with seed pods and flowers, and a similar design in the ground of the silk is made by a self-coloured weft. The silk is made up from two fragments. Tabby with a slightly ribbed ground, owing to the flushing weft in every alternate shoot. The brocaded wefts are unbound.
