Fiziksel açıklama
Fragment of a plain woven, undyed linen tunic, decorated with a set of three clavi alternating between brocaded and tapestry woven dyed wool. The clavi are incomplete at the top, but preserve their pendants at the bottom. On the first and third clavi, a repeated geometric pattern is brocaded in pink, red, orange, and dark green dyed wools; the clavus is outlined and the geometric cross-shaped motifs held within a diaper lozenge of white-beige wool. At the base of each of these is a pendant containing another cross-motif in orange. Between these two brocaded clavi is a tapestry woven clavus; at the centre is a floral ornament in pink, white, orange, dark and light green on a red ground, bordered above and below by a row of faces within roundels, on an orange ground. At the base of this clavus is a pendant with a leaf-shaped ornament in orange, red, yellow and blue. The whole clavus is outlined in dark blue-green. Portions of the wool have been lost from the clavus.
