Roundel from a linen tunic, tapestry-woven in purple wool and undyed linen thread. The slit-tapestry woven decoration depicts a nude boy holding a cylindrical perfume-box, and two half-draped women at their toilet, each of whom hold a mirror, on a false hatched background. The outside of the roundel is patterned with a border of running-wave ornament. Details are picked out in flying thread brocading in undyed linen thread. The fragment has been attached to a tulle backing and a newer linen ground. Tapestry weave: Linen warp (S-spun, 2/2) Wool weft (Z-spun) Linen weft (S-spun)
