On this fragment of clamp-resist dyed silk, the pattern has a green floral scroll against a reddish orange ground. The undyed outline between the green and orange colours is uneven, indicating that the pattern was made with two separate sets of clamps. Weave structures: Warp: silk, untwisted, single, 44 ends/cm; Weft: silk, untwisted, 26 lats/cm. Weave structure: 1/1 plain weave. 用夾纈工藝製成的絲織品殘片。圖案已不完整，但可見桔紅色地上的綠色纏枝紋。花地之間的白色輪廓粗細不勻，可能是因爲圖案由兩套不同的夾纈版製成。 組織結構： 經線：絲，無撚，單根排列，44根/cm；緯線：絲，無撚，26根/cm；組織：1/1平紋。
