You can see a good picture of the self portrait at http://www.usc.edu/dept/LAS/Art_History/AHIS304m/week14a/ - it's midway down the bottom, labeled as the self portrait.

It's not a piece of cloth. It is actually skin. As a form of punishment for sins people used to be skinned. It's not just a piece of cloth with his image on it. I think that that makes the image even more creepy.
