    A band of arches filled with floral patterns, in brown outline against a white ground. This is followed by a band filled with red rosettes and superimposed brown lines. A fragmentary second band of arches is adjacent to this band. All patterns are brown or red against a white ground, and there is a solid band of red close to the selvedge.

    A selvedge is parallel to the bands. The reverse is less saturated with dye than the surface. The fragment is very loosely woven; it is similar to Cat. no. 629 [EA1990.491].
