Fragment preserves what appears to be shoulder of a draped figure, the shoulder and body are covered with a diamond pattern net of white inlay strips, the juncture of each diamond with the next is highlighted with a small circular yellow cane; in cross section each strip is V-shaped, the white strips and yellow dots appear to be pre-cut and fit into place, not fused.
