Fiziksel açıklama
Roundel from a tunic, in bichrome samite (weft-faced compound twill) woven in brown and cream/buff silks. At the centre is a geometric tree/vine with grapes and leaves, representing the tree of life. On either side are two pairs of spade-shaped leaves with further trees within them. The roundel is surrounded by a circular border (approximately 20mm wide) with a stylised, wave-like floral motif.
