Fiziksel açıklama
Square panel from a plain woven undyed linen tunic, tapestry woven in red, green, black and yellow wool and undyed linen thread. The panel has a central oval compartment, containing a stylised bust on a yellow ground. At each corner of the panel is a border of right-angle form, containing three interlinked red roundels containing a black 'S' shape, probably an extremely stylised vine motif. Between each right-angle shape is a yellow square enclosing a stylised bust.
