Circa 7th century A.D.Estimate: £70 - 90 (+bp*)
Bids: 1 | Current Bid: £5
Featuring a large central floral motif, divided into sections containing rhomboid patterns and bordered by meander designs, executed in a tapestry weave using raw wool in reddish-purple, yellow, and dark brown, with an S-twist. 4.15 grams, 10.7 cm
Acquired 1970s-1996. Property of a North American collector. London collection, 2016.
In the Late Roman Period, round orbiculi decorated the shoulders and the lower part of tunics and inner tunics. These fabrics were of great decorative finesse, displaying an unusual and extremely well-preserved colour palette. When the tunic came to the end of its life, these embroideries could be recycled and patched onto another garment. The motif of the opposed horsemen could be related to a military tunic. -
