Fragment of Two-Sectioned Tapestry Border
The image shows a two-sectioned tapestry border. Two identical scenes are depicted side by side. Each scene features two nude male figures holding up a red and white scalloped fabric canopy. The figures wear blue loincloths tied at their waists with a bow. They stand on either side of a stone column. Between the columns is an ornate white frame holding an oval panel. The left panel is brown with a letter "B" and the right panel is blue with a gold design. The background of each scene is black, with plants at the base of the columns. The tapestry has a green border around the edges.
