Fiziksel açıklama
resist printed, block printed, plain weave cotton, probably hand woven, with painted details in metallic pigment; one edge has a twisted warp fringe. Cream ground with an incomplete pattern of delicate branching stems in purple bearing small blossoms in blue and mauve, or larger flower heads in red, blue and purple, with green leaves. The fringed edge is decorated with a border of a delicate but densely packed meander with small green leaves and full flower heads in red and purple; this leads into a narrow reciprocal trefoil outer band in white and green. There is evidence of gold pigment mainly on this trefoil band but small particles may be seen on the leaves and stem on the opposite side of the fragment.
