Notes
Portion of the front of a tunic, tapestry-woven throughout in coloured wools. To the right is part of the broad purple shoulder-band, edged on the inner side by a narrow stripe on which is a succession of running animals in purple, alternating with plant forms of three stems in dark blue, on a yellowish ground. The rest of the stuff is of the same colour as this ground. The short strip of embroidery in purple on the purple stripe was probably that sometimes seen at the end of the neck opening.
