Notes
Portion of a linen cloth, with a band of ornament tapestry-woven in purple wool and undyed linen thread. Two large star-shaped panels united by a wavy leafy stem with a central roundel; the stem is continued to the right and left, ending in vases. Each panel is filled with interlaced ornament within a circle with leafy stems around and an outer guilloche border. The roundel contains four vases converging towards a cetnral disc and filled with leafy stems. There were probably two of these bands across each end of the cloth and a large panel in the middle.
