Description
A fragment of a cloth cover, made of purple velvet. It takes the form of an elongated wide band, decorated along two edges with beadwork and glass-bead embroidery in the form of a grapevine with clusters, leaves, and tendrils. The embroidery is backed on the reverse with light-colored cotton fabric.
The perimeter of the fragment is partly bordered with a narrow border ornament (a "branch" motif).
