Notes
Linen tunic, with tapestry-woven ornaments in purple wool and undyed linen thread. The long shoulder-bands and cuff bands have a spirited design of running animals - lions, antelopes and hares. The bands are doubled on the cuffs. There is a deep border at the neck at both back and front, linking the shoulder-bands together. Each contains four warriors on a background of stems. The small cross on one shoulder is balanced by a rosette on the other, and may be merely an ornament.
