Fiziksel açıklama
Fragment of a plain woven undyed linen cloth, possibly 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. The pile decoration consists of geometric ornamentation - a wavy band, possible a stylised vine and berries, and portions of two angular geometric ornaments. Both are in purple dyed wool, with the intervening spaces filled by longer undyed linen looped pile.
