DescriptionWoven into a piece of white woolen tapestry is a border with a design that consists of two circles and three diamond-shaped motifs. One of the circles encloses a human figure, probably a hunter and the other encloses a hare. The diamond-shaped units enclose cross-like motifs. The design is of brown wool and natural colored linen. Similar to 15.704, probably from the same gaarment.
