Description
Tunics in Late Antiquity were decorated only in certain places. This panel is from the breast- or neck-area of a tunic, placed underneath the neck slit, which is preserved horizontally at the top of the fragment. In three arcades, four persons are depicted: in the centre a female dancer and a male dressed in a fur; similar figures appear in the outer arcades. The figures belong to the retinue of Dionysus, a figure from ancient Greek mythology, the depiction of which was still popular in Late Antiquity.
