ملاحظات
A wool roundel cut from a linen tunic. Egyptian, ca. AD400-600. Tapestry-woven in purple wool and undyed linen thread. In the centre a naked man is spearing a lion. This image is surrounded by a circle of 15 knops. The linen is stained; 10x14 tpc. The battle between men and animals is thought to symbolise a symbolic struggle for control over nature, although in this instance the imagery of combat against a lion may be inspired instead by the Classical story of Hercules slaying the Nemean lion.
