About this work
Natural-colored linen textile fragment with woven border decoration in dark purple of leaf scrolls curled into half-circles, within which half-length animals appear, from right to left: a lion, a ram (?), a goat, a dog, a hare, a bear (?) and a lion. The upper strip of natural-colored fabric features three lines formed by woven thicker weft threads.
