Fiziksel açıklama
Fragment from a furnishing fabric, probably a hanging or cover. The ground fabric is plain woven, undyed linen, with decoration in wool weft looped pile. A red-pink medallion encloses a blue star-shaped panel, outlined in yellow. Within this is a figure of Hermes, wearing a cloak and holding a caduceus-staff.
