Notes
Portion of the sleeve of a yellow woollen tunic, with two applied tapestry-woven panels in coloured wools and undyed linen thread on linen warps. The panels are oblong in shape. The larger one has in the middle a circle enclosing a half-length nimbed figure with upraised arms. In each spandrel is a bird. The space to right and left is in each case divided laterally by a straight band. In the compartments thus formed are two lions, two other animals, and four figures of boys. The background is red. Above and below is a border containing a wavy foliated stem on a black ground. The lower panel, at the cuff, has a lozenge diaper pattern in red on a dark brown ground.
