The photograph captures the intricate details and delicate beauty of this antique textile. The fragment features a stunning combination of beige and black colors, creating an elegant contrast that enhances its overall appeal. Its design is adorned with a floral garland pattern, showcasing nature's splendor in every intricately woven thread. The repetition of flowers adds a sense of harmony and balance to the artwork.
