Notes
Linen tunic, with ornaments tapestry-woven in red wool and undyed linen thread. The short narrow shoulder-bands, reaching to the waist, consists of running wave ornament, with a panel containing an elongated plant form in the middle. They terminate in narrow stems with pendent trefoil leaves. The double cuff-bands consists of running wave ornament only. The small roundels on the shoulders and near the lower edge each contain a trefoil leaf with a running wave border. Down the front of the tunic have been applied four small squares tapestry-woven in purple wool and undyed linen thread. Each has a bird on either side of a floral stem within a circle, and a running wave border. A straight slit has been left in the weaving for the neck. The four purple squares have probably been added since the removal from the grave.
