ملاحظات
Pendent roundel from a shoulder-band of linen embroidered with coloured silks. It represents the half-length figure of an angel holding a staff with a cross at the top in the left hand, and another object, partly effaced, in the right. The ground is green. There is a border of heart-shaped flowers and rosettes, and there are traces of a narrow stripe which connected the pendant with the shoulder-band. The roundel has been stitched to a linen tunic, a fragment of which remains.

Embroidery is relatively uncommon amongst Late Antique Egyptian textiles. It is possible that this piece was imported or embroidered by a non-Egyptian.
