A panel of tapestry-woven wool and linen, some embroidery. Egyptian, ca. AD200-500. The warp is of undyed linen, double and s-spun. Linen is also used as weft and thread to create a guillloche interlace border round the main decoration. The s-spun wool is brown/purple, red and green. The panel is mainly square but with a small triangle enclosing a floral icon, on either side. The square is outlined with the guilloche border and surrounds four circles. Around the circles are floral icons. Two circles enclose tree/floral icons and the other two enclose a striped vase with three petals rising from the mouth. These petals form half the 'rose/cross' icon that is common to Coptic design (ie: an icon of four heart shaped petals, with the pointed ends towards each other, separated with a short cross.) Along one side there are remains of a slit tapestry linen border while on the opposite side are whip stitches of linen thread that once attached the panel to another linen piece.
