Notes
Portion of a linen tunic, with two shoulder-bands tapestry-woven in coloured wools and undyed linen thread on linen warps. The latter contain mounted huntsmen attacking lions with lances and swords. The two pendent ovals, still preserved on one side of the tunic, each enclose a tree with an animal (drinking?) on either side. The background is red. The borders all round consist of heart-shaped blossoms and leaves on a white ground, edged with geometrical ornament in polychrome. The neck opening is of oval form, with no borders remaining. The lower part of one side and the sleeves are missing.
