Notes
Linen tunic, with ornaments tapestry-woven in red wool and undyed linen thread. The short narrow shoulder bands, reaching to the waist, have small rosettes placed far apart, and an asp in the middle both at back and front. They have border of dentated ornament, and they end below in stems with trefoil leaves. On each of the cuffs is a double band with rosettes between dentated border. The small square panels on the shoulders and at both back and front near the lower edge each have an eight-petalled flower in the middle and a small rosette in each corner. The neck-opening consists of a straight slit left in the weaving.
