        "description": "This fragment preserves the forepaws of what must have been a very large-scale lion. Beneath it is a bit of another motif which can no longer be identified. The ground is a soft grayish-blue, the design pale yellow and white, and the leaflike projections on the lower motif are aqua. The design is oriented in the warp direction.<br><br>The technique is the usual tapestry weave with slit and dovetail joins. The weave is very fine; the wefts are tightly beaten up. There is limited use of eccentric weaving.",
