DescriptionWoven with a background of pinkish red wool and a design of haloed female figures bearing horns of plenty and spindle-like objects (?) alternating with animals under trees, one is probably a bull and the other is a spotted animal, probably a cheetah. The design is woven with green, yellow, brown and pinkish-red wool and natural-colored linen. The borders enclose connected semi-circular motifs. The warp is linen. Very much worn and torn.
