Notes
Panel from the sleeve of a tunic, tapestry-woven in coloured wools and undyed linen thread on linen warps. The middle panel has a tree with a lion on either side within a circle; birds in the spandrels. The panels on either side are divided horizontally into two parts, one containing a reclining figure and the other a plant device with two birds. This should be compared with the earliest Arab tapestry-work, represented by 2081, 2089-1900. The tree and lions recall the tapestry-weavings imitating woven silks. (eg. nos. :669-1886, 176-1891.
