Notes:

Fragment of woven fabric with paired undyed linen warps, purple and yellowed wool wefts which form tapestry bands, alternating rows of small and large circular motifs or medallions. In the large medallions there are bird figures within 6-lobed motifs, except at one edge where the motifs are cross-shaped. The two narrow bands of circles within circles are separated by a 0.6 cm wide plain weave band of yellowed wool. There is another (at least 0.8 cm wide) yellow plain weave band along one edge. The larger tapestry bands are 5.5 cm wide. Two small pieces of woven wool fabric (one brown, one yellow) were sewn on along one edge. There are other stitches present. Part of a cuff.
