Portion of a shoulder-band from a linen tunic, tapestry-woven in coloured wools and undyed linen thread on linen warps. Central panel, with nude standing male and female figures, the former resting one arm on a column, on a red ground. Above and below the figures are blue panels filled with birds and fishes, possibly representing water generally or an echo of earlier Nilotic scenes. Borders partly of scale ornament in polychrome and partly of birds and fishes, in white on red.
