Fragments
ca. 1246
Fragments of tapestry roundels and borders from a plain cloth garment, some of which is still visible at the edges of these decorations. The fragments show portions of birds, mythological animals, arabesqued and pearled borders, human figures in turbans and flowing garments, horses, and serpents; in blue, green, several shades of tan, terra cotta (once red), brown and cream against tarnished and worn gold background. The remains of an inscription appear on the border of one roundel.
