Fiziksel açıklama
Double band from the cuff of a plain woven, undeyed linen tunic, tapestry-woven in purple wool and undyed linen thread. A large portion of the surrounding, plain woven fabric remains attached to the tapestry portion. Each of the tapestry bands of the cuff contains a stem with arrow-head leaves emerging from it, bordered either side by a narrow purple band. At both ends are thicker block-colour, purple sections.
