Notes
Five portions of the two shoulder-bands from a linen tunic, tapestry-woven in coloured wools and undyed linen thread on linen warps. On the bands are standing figures of saints at intervals, the spaces between being occupied by hovering boys, apparently holding baskets of fruit, and figures of animals. The bands terminated at back and front in pendent ovals connected by narrow strips. Three of these ovals remain; each apparently contained an animal. The ground is red. There are narrow borders of conventional ornament on a black ground.
