Notes
Linen tunic (incomplete) with two shoulder-bands and a broad band along the lower edge of tapestry-weaving in wool and linen thread on linen warps. On the shoulder-bands are mounted huntsmen, some spearing wild animals, others with bows (?), between borders of heart-shaped blossoms. The lower band has large star-shaped panels enclosing circles filled with slender floral stems and surrounded by plant devices. In the intervening spaces are floral stems. On the shoulders are two fragments of fine tapestry-work in coloured silks, with figures and floral devices. A small tapestry band in wool and linen, sewn across at the neck, has a diaper of leaves in colours on a black ground.
