| Notes | Portion of a shoulder-band from a linen tunic; tapestry-woven in coloured wools and undyed linen thread on linen warps. Figures holding vases are placed diagonally so as to form lozenge-shaped compartments; these enclose pairs of birds within circles, or rosettes. The ground is red. To the right and left is a border of straight foliated stems interrupted by discs. |
