Notes
Portion of a linen cloth, tapestry-woven throughout, with four parallel bands in purple wools, with details in yellow wool, and undyed linen thread. The bands are placed close together, and they successively decrease in width; they are filled with interlacing and fret devices, and have foliated stem borders. The interlaced ornamentation is similar to that of a roundel found by Prof. Petrie at Hawarah in a grave of c. 340 AD.
