    Pointed, oval medallion with a beaded surround and a large, twelve-petalled flower inside which has a rosette in the centre; small, stylized tendrils fill the space between the medallions. These are white against a red background, while the flower inside each medallion is red against white. There are traces of the beginning of a different pattern in one corner of the fragment, with some purple dye.

    The reverse is not saturated with dye. The width of the block used was 12 cm.
