Notes
Woollen tunic, tapestry-woven throughout, with ornaments woven in purple wool and undyed linen thread. The short shoulder-bands, reaching to the waist, contain interlacing foliated stems and standing human figures. The double cuff-band (only one preserved) has rows of animals. The neck-band remains on one side only; it consists of animals and seated figures in an arcade, with floral ornament, animals and a bust above, and a row of arches below, each containing a floral device. The square panels, on the shoulder and near the lower edge, each enclose a circle containing a human figure or an animal surrounded by animals, busts and floral forms. At the lower edge is a horizontal band returning vertically at each side, where it ends in a leaf-shaped panel attached to a stem; it contains animals and floral forms.

Very dilapidated; at the bottom there remain two only of the squares and part of one band.
