Fiziksel açıklama
Fragment of a plain woven undyed linen cloth, possibly a hanging or cover. Selfbands run at regular intervals through the ground fabric (a band of three weft threads every four picks). Additional decoration has been created with looped pile, formed from supplementary dyed woolen weft. The pile decoration consists of a horizontal spiralling band, in alternating turquoise, yellow, red and pink wool, bordered in black. Below this is a face in pink wool, with facial features picked out in red wool (ears, lips, nose), white (eyeballs, teeth) and black (eyebrows, eyes), and hair in two shades of brown wool. This is surrounded by a border in undyed linen pile, with jewelled ornament in red, blue, yellow and turquoise, and then a plain purple wool border. To the right are the remains of an four-petalled rose in red and pink. At the very top of the fragment are two horizontal bands of purple-brown wool weft, each of four weft threads.
