Notes
Portion of a large linen cloth, with a large roundel and two parallel bands tapestry-woven in purple wool and undyed linen thread. The roundel contains interlaced ornament surrounded by a scroll border, and the bands have intertwined floral stems. The roundel is similar in design to one found by Prof. Petrie at Hawarah in a grave of c. 340 AD.
