Notes
Two portions of silk squares, woven in colours on a red ground, stitched to the lower part of a linen tunic with small tapestry woven ornaments in wool, now mostly perished. Each square contained two horsemen attacking lions with spears, and hounds below, within a circle outlined by a band of heart-shaped floral forms. Floral devices with birds occupied the spaces which intervened between the repeating circles. The colours are blue, green, orange, red and white.
