Description
Fragment of a linen curtain. The fabric is “showered” with red and blue blossoms, here organised in diagonal lines, which presumably formed a grid of zig-zags or lozenges on the curtain’s surface. A larger tapestry-woven leaf motif with inscribed blue and red flowers is placed in the space; presumably it repeated itself at regular intervals across the curtain. Two blue lines and three horizontal rows of buds probably mark the upper edge of the curtain.
