Notes:

Fragment of woven wool fabric with yellowed warp, three blue/black tapestry bands, three blue/black tapestry figures (birds?) and two sections of red weft-twining. One section consists of two rows of countered weft-twining along one edge. Very little remains of the other twining row along the opposite edge. The twining loops pass over two warps each. The blue/black tapestry bands vary in width. All three are narrow at one edge (from 1 cm, 0.7 cm and 1.5 cm wide). The top and bottom bands widen to 4.3 cm and 5 cm. Thne center band widens to 1.3 cm. There are small linen slit tapestry triangles along one or two edges of each of the wider parts of the top and bottom bands. There are remnants of very deteriorated linen weft-wrapping within all three blue/black bands.
