ملاحظات
These two fragments were once part of a shoulder band decorating a tunic. From similar bands which are more complete, we can assume that the top figure (only his legs and lower bottom of a tunic is still present in this fragment) is a huntsman or warrior carrying a shield and sword. Below him is maybe his prey, a lion and a hare. The now detached pendant roundel consists of a crowned bust. A fair amount of silk decorations for tunics were found at the burial sites of Akhmim and Antinoe. Their arrangements on the garment was like that of the woollen tapestry panels: one shoulder band on each side of the neck ending in pendant medallions at the waist both back and front, large roundels below and oblong panels on the sleeves. The tunic was generally of linen.

Woven in silk in discoloured blue (probably once purple) and beige (maybe once white), divided into panels containing from the top: lower part of dressed man (upper missing), probably a huntsman as seen in object 767-1893 and a lion and hare below with what looks like an ankh next to the lion; fragmentary parts of most likely conventional tree or plant.
