A vertically long wool and linen fragment features stacked rows of stylized figures against a tan background. Near the center, a man in a green tunic and white leggings holds a round shield, facing right. Above, a figure on horseback travels right, surrounded by four-legged animals in muted red, green, and brown. Frayed edges frame the dense composition, where hunters and bared-tooth beasts alternate in rhythmic registers.
