Fiziksel açıklama
Square panel from an undyed linen cushion or cover. The plain woven ground fabric has been faced with long loops of undyed linen. In the centre is a tapestry woven panel in purple wool, with details in red and green wool, and undyed linen thread. The middle of the panel contains four interlaced roundels within a square border. Two contain warriors with shields, one a lion, and one a dog. The space surrounding the roundels is decorated with stylised leaves in red and green. This square is surrounded by a border of repeated circles, each enclosing a leaf-like design, in turn surrounded by an outer border decorated with semi-circles.
