Notes
Portion of a linen cloth, with ornaments tapestry-woven in coloured wools and undyed linen thread. The tapestry panels run in horizontal rows; some are circular and contain figures of running boys with baskets of fruit; others are star shaped, with male busts, animals, and guilloche and leaf ornament; the remaining panels are in the form of baskets of flowers and large and small rosettes. At the top there is a horizontal border of floral and leaf ornament, beneath which are festoons of leaves enclosing boys holding ducks; between the festoons are hanging baskets of fruit. cf: the baskets of fruit on the ivory diptych of Areaobindus (AD.506) at Lucca.
