| Notes | Portion of a deep horizontal band from a linen tunic; tapestry-woven in coloured wools and undyed linen thread on linen warps. Fragment of a pattern of large circles with human figures, animals and plant forms arranged around a barbed quatrefoil. The circles are outlined by bands of heart-shaped floral ornaments and are united by a small roundel similarly outlined. Large floral devices fill the intervening spaces. The ground is red. |
