Fiziksel açıklama
Fragment of plain woven linen, with tapestry woven ornament in brown wool and undyed linen. Below the tapestry woven design are six selfbands, each of about 6-10 weft threads, the last one double. The colour of the wool is variable, ranging from red-brown to nearly black. The slit tapestry-woven design features three roundels, each enclosed by a foliate scroll border. The middle medallion depicts a hare, and the top and bottom two standing cloaked human figures. Details are picked out in flying thread brocading in undyed linen thread.
