Notes
Linen tunic (incomplete), with two shoulder-bands, a broad band along the lower edge and a narrow border at the neck, all tapestry-woven in coloured wools and undyed linen thread on linen warps. The shoulder-bands have vine branches growing from a central stem, with repetitions of a man and a horse, each alternately to the right and left of the stem, facing one another. In some cases the man apparently holds a large bunch of fruit; in others he has two bunches hanging from a yoke across his shoulders. The ground is red. The borders all round have a row of discs on a dark brown ground. The broad band below (much decayed) has foliated designs in red on a black ground. The neck-borders have human figures and other ornament on a dark blue ground. There are also traces of square panels above the bottom border. The sleeves and most of one side of the tunic are missing.
