Fiziksel açıklama
Fragment of a tapestry woven panel from a tunic, in red, white, blue and yellow wool and undyed linen thread. The main design shows a repeated pattern of white arrow-head designs, on a red ground. Bordering this on two sides are the remains of a stepped pattern in yellow wool, on a dark blue/purple ground. The fragment also retains a portion of plain woven linen from the surrounding tunic. The decoration and colours of this piece are in emulation of contemporary bichrome silks.
