Description
Double band from the sleeve of an undyed or yellowish wool tunic. The sleeve formed a tube originally, but the seam connecting the two vertical edges is undone today. The bands depict vases and plants alternately, stacked on top of each other with a bird in the central position. The orientation of the images in both bands is reversed.
All the decorations in Showcases 1 and 2 are woven in tapestry technique, a kind of plain weave with coloured weft threads, which replace the ground weft where the pattern requires it.
