Roundel of linen, embroidered with coloured silks. It apparently represents the Annunciation. In the first scene an angel stands behind a woman clad in a long pale-coloured tunic and a blue mantle. In the second, a woman approaches our Lord, who wears a pale greenish-blue tunic and has a cruciferous nimbus. The ground is now straw-coloured. There is a border of heart-shaped flowers. It has been stitched to a piece of linen with a looped pile at the back, perhaps a fragment of the original tunic.

Üretim
Embroidery is relatively uncommon amongst Late Antique Egyptian textiles. It is possible that this piece was imported or embroidered by a non-Egyptian.
