Fragment of a tapestry band in purple wool and linen. The decoration of the central band is arranged in three registers. The bottom one is defined by a rectangular compartment made by twined lines, in the interior of which a human figure appears, in frontal view, naked, with the legs crossed. The figure is adorned with a collar, a belt, bracelets and anklets. The two other registers are formed by ovals inside octagonals formed by twined lines, in the interior of which a lion and a deer appear, seen in profile, while resting. The lateral bands contain lobate flowers inside octagonals, also formed by twined lines. The band ends with a cresting of stylized flowers.
