Description
Fragment of a linen hanging or upholstery textile. The fabric is covered by linen loops, densely woven into the fabric and providing a soft and thermally insulating surface. These qualities provide comfort in the house, either for lying or sitting on, or else as a wall cover. An angular band and a star-shaped motif, woven with coloured wool loops, served as decorative elements. Together they probably formed one of four corresponding corner decorations of the large-size textile.
