Fiziksel açıklama
Fragment of a plain woven undyed linen cloth, possibly from a hanging or cover. Selfbands run at regular intervals through the ground fabric. Additional decoration has been created with looped pile, formed from picks of dyed woolen weft woven into the ground fabric. The pile decoration consists of a black right-angle gamma motif with an orange inner border, notched at the end, enclosing an interlace design in orange and yellow wool. In the top left corner is a large four-petalled rose in red, pink, yellow and green wool.
