Description: Top: Piece of cloth looking like a mantle's border. It is made out with woolen woven on a dark brown colored warp. It seems to have been made separately from the mantle; the parallel bands are decorated with a frieze in echelon, and the middle band is woven in slanting bands separated by black backstitchings. The red, purple, yellow, white, black, and light brown and dark brown colors are unchanged and the harmony of their arrangement juts out. I
