Did You Know?

The fragment's design consists of a single stylized ram wearing a pearled collar to which is attached a large ribbon that floats over the ram's back.
A brown textile fragment features a stylized ram facing left. The animal displays large spiral horns and four legs ending in alternating dark and yellow hooves. A striped triangular form rests atop its back. Across the top, a horizontal band contains a row of cream-colored, cross-like shapes. The coarse goat hair and wool fabric has irregular, frayed edges and internal losses that break up the design.
