Fiziksel açıklama
The pattern is dominated by roundels with a complex border arranged in stacked rows. Each medallion contains a pair of lions, standing (statant) and confronted, and other motifs. There is a gap half the height of a medallion between the horizontal rows. It contains two pairs of running quadrupeds. The upper pair, with ten spots on a dark ground, has curled tails and look to the front. The lower pair, now pale green in colour and with bushy tails, have their heads turned back. Sited vertically between each group of four quadrupeds is a stylized, tree-like arrangement of plant-based motifs. The pattern is a degraded version of its model, with rounded lines squared off. The inner pearl border of the roundels, for example, has been converted into a border of small white squares on a dark ground.
