Notes
Portion of the tapesty-woven ornaments from a linen tunic, in purple wool and undyed line thread. The parts remaining consist of the panels bordering the neck at back and front, parts of the two shoulder-bands and of the two squares on the shoulder. Each of the neck panels has an arcade of three arches, with a warrior and a female figure under every arch. The bands have acanthus-stems enclosing animals, with a head within a circle at the neck opening, and a running lion on a plain panel below on either side. The squares (much delapidated) had figures surrounded by a border of animals within acanthus-stems.
