In the medallion (75 cm in diameter) there is a flower-leaf ornament against a light grey background. The geometrical pattern of the ornament is built of a circumference of a smaller than the medallion diameter with the focus in its centre. In the central circle there are two fan-shaped “flowers” opposite each other with wavy edges facing the circumference and traces of ochre and dark shading at the bases. Between the “flowers”, there is a white chalk ground with wavy edges of the background colour along the circumference. Between the small and large circumferences, traces of the background around the lost elements in a form of large uniformly recurring curves of one unbroken line are preserved. Between the wide (3-3.5 cm) and thin borders of the medallion there is a white chalk ground. The fold of a cloth conceals the right part of the medallion. In the centre of the medallion there is a trace of the leg of a compass. The light green cloth folds are painted over the ornament. There are two short thin grooves in the upper left border of the medallion. Condition: Strengthened small losses and destruction of the white chalk ground all over the surface of the medallion. In the upper left quarter on the border there is a deep horizontal crack (5 cm). Nearly complete loss of all pigments in the ornament elements and cloth folds. Conservation: 1995 (?)
