Fiziksel açıklama
Fragment of a plain woven undyed linen cloth, possibly a hanging. Selfbands run at regular intervals through the ground fabric (a band of three weft threads every four picks). Additional decoration has been created with looped pile formed by supplementary wool wefts. The pile decoration depicts a nude putto figure, with skin shaded and highlighted in several shades of pale pink wool, with a green and yellow necklace and streamers. The eyes have been picked out in white and black wool, the mouth in darker red, and the hair in light brown. He is looking back over his shoulder, holding a piece of fruit in his raised hand, and a bunch of flowers or plants in the other.
