DescriptionNatural colored linen ground with designs woven in brown wool. The design consists of three medallions connected by squares. A Nude female figure stands in each of two medallions and a nude male is in the third. In the squares are small ducks or birds woven in light brown. Leaves fill the intervening spaces. On each side are plain bands edged with diamonds and squares. The design shows Roman influence.
