Fiziksel açıklama
Fragment of a plain woven undyed linen cloth, possibly a hanging or cover. Additional decoration has been created with looped pile, formed from picks of dyed woolen weft woven into the ground fabric. The main decoration consists of a roundel quartered in alternating red and blue wool, surronded by a large area of longer pile in undyed linen, covering most of the ground fabric. At the top of the fabric are the remains of a border in red, orange and blue wool.
