Child's linen tunic, with tapestry-woven ornaments, in purple wool and undyed linen thread. The shoulder-bands and double cuff-bands are filled with wavy foliated stems; the former terminate in leaf-shaped pendants. Within the roundels on the shoulders are human figures, and those near the lower edge contain animals. The roundels have borders of stems similar to those on the bands.

Fiziksel açıklama
Child's linen tunic, in plain woven undyed linen, with tapestry-woven ornaments in purple dyed wool and undyed linen thread. The lower part of either the back or front is missing and there is a hole in one shoulder. The sleeves have been sewn on to the main body, there are seams on the middle of the body, right shoulder and above the right clavi, and there are small hems at the neck, sleeve ends and bottom of the body. The slit-tapestry woven decoration consists of two clavi, four roundels (two at the shoulders and two at knee-level) and four sleeve bands, sewn onto the tunic. The sleeve bands and clavi depict a running wavy stem with vine leaves. The roundels at the knee depict hares on a false hatched background, the left-hand hare with a dotted body, enclosed by border and then a wavy stem pattern as with the foundels and sleeve bands. The decoration of the shoulder roundels is unclear and damaged but originally depicted a different design. Details have been picked out in flying thread brocading in undyed linen. Plain weave: Linen warp (S-spun, 22/cm) Linen weft (S-spun, 16/cm) Tapestry weave: Linen warp (S-spun; threads doubled) Wool weft (Z-spun) Linen weft (S-spun)
