Notes
Two fragments of tunic bands sewn onto plain woven (with areas of extended plain weave), undyed linen (1 ply S). Tapestry woven bands in red, purple and brown wool (1 ply S) and undyed linen thread (2 ply S). The design is of a row of oval compartments filled with plant ornaments alternating with foliated stems forming triangular devices. Bordered with zig-zag devices. The bands are glued to cardboard and a hand written label (in ink) says : 'Found on the mummy of a Woman buried at San (Tanis) S. mound. Mr Petrie's excavations 1884'.
