White tapestry-woven fragment, in very good condition, containing two narrow purple bands. Each band contains three horizontal panels, an octagon and eight-pointed star between them. The panels in embroidery and white tapestry weave are divided into very angular "mosaic" geometric patterns. Embroidery is also used on the two other motifs.
