Fiziksel açıklama
Portion of a plain woven, undyed linen tunic, with tapestry woven decoration in purple wool and undyed linen. The fragment preserves the full lengths of both clavi; these consist of three bands emenating from a central portion and decorated with a scrolling floral pattern, each band ending in a cross-shaped leaf pendant. The shoulder portion of one side of the tunic has also been kept, which has a stepped-pyramid shaped epaulette, striped with horizontal bands in undyed linen.
