There is a selvedge on the right (narrow) side. The slit-tapestry woven panel depicts a row of octagonal medallions; the outer two contain a 'tree of life' motif, the middle an animal, possibly a hare, on a false hatched background. A purple border forms a roundel surrounding each medallion. Details are picked out in flying thread brocading.

The fragment seems to be part of the same object as T.265-1977, which has the same design as the middle roundel here.
