DescriptionWhite woolen tapestry, into which is woven part of a medallion, and two pendant ornaments (clavi). The pendants and border of the medallion have a dark red ground, on which are seperate lotus (?) flowers and fish, in green, yellow, white, dark blue, and pink wool. The design of the main field of the medallion consists of human figures with raised arms (dancing ?). The design shows Byzantine influence.
