A linen and wool tapestry fragment takes a curved collar shape with frayed, uneven edges against a red ground. Small, wide-eyed figures, some winged and holding jars or instruments, populate the central band. A dark blue border decorated with multicolored geometric diamonds outlines the outer edge. The coarse weave shows significant wear and missing chunks from its irregular perimeter.
