Fragment of woven wool fabric with yellowed warp and background weft and a blue/black tapestry roundel. The oval shaped center of the roundel is surrounded by 18 small circles. Linen weft-wrapping was used to form circles within these small circles. There are remnants of linen weft-wrapping lines within the oval, as well as outlining the oval (geometric interlace?). The outside edge of the yellow background fabric appears to have been cut.
