Fiziksel açıklama
Fragment from a tunic, possibly originally part of a sleeve-band or clavus, tapestry woven in purple and undyed wools and undyed linen thread. The decoration consists of two thick outer bands in purple wool, with a geometric interlace decoration picked out in undyed linen. Between these is a band in undyed wool, with a repeating heart motif in purple wool. The fragment has been backed with a more modern linen.
