Panel of silk dismantled from a dress; it retains traces of pleats from a waist. It is a loom width, with a seam near the lower edge attaching an addition small section of silk that allows the pattern repeat to be seen complete. There is a narrow line of silk with a cut edge stitched to the top, suggesting another panel was joined previously, and has been cut off. A short length of linen tape is attached to the reverse. The silk is cream in plain weave brocaded in four shades of brown, with self-coloured ground weft floats creating delicate floral sprays in the background. In the foreground the brown brocading creates floral swags across the width of the silk.
