Notes
Portions of a band from a yellow woollen garment, tapestry-woven in dark purple wool and undyed linen thread on woollen warps. In the middle are circles enclosing birds, separated from each other by lozenge-shaped compartments in groups of three, two of which contain ornamental crosses, and the thirsd a marine-monster. The intervening spaces are filled with scroll-work. On either side is a band of foliated cresting. At one end are two fish within a square panel.
