THE FIFTH 
Rectangle piece of silk woven with colored threads to form a pattern of a woman in a long dress and a man with a stringed instrument. The main fabric is a pale orange silk satin woven with blue, white, purple, and green threads. Rows of birds appear between the figures, including peacocks. A note with the swatch suggests the piece is Portuguese or Spanish from c. 1740. The bottom hem is curved, which may suggest this part was worn near the hem of a skirt.
