Fragment of yellowed woven wool fabric with two bands of blue/black deteriorated tapestry motifs. The two bands are each approximately 4 cm wide, with 0.7 cm of yellow weft between. This may be a fragment of a cuff. Motifs in one band may be leaves (vine scroll?), with animals, possibly, in the other band (inhabited vine scroll?). There are two stitches along one edge.
