Openwork panel, originally sewn to a garment? No threading holes or rings
of attachment anywhere, but threads could have been fastened to details of
the openwork.
Design.
Edges of the two ends were plain. Those of top and bottom consisted of rows
of tiny applied rosettes between lines of applied wire.
Centre panel consisted of three animals, a bull below, and above a cow(?)
and a leopard. These curiously mixed: not in perspective. Separated from
this centre panel by bars there were two side panels, each representing an
ibex(?) feeding from a plant.
Background above animals in centre panel a separate applied piece, at back
overlapping main piece. On this plant design.
Main outlines of animals cut out: details in applied granules, many of them
infinitesimally small.
