Rectangular fragment representing a portion of an ornamental band for a tunic--probably a clavus (vertical band) or a decorative horizontal band with the design tapestry woven in brown (probably originally purple) wool with natural linen eccentric wefts delineating features. The tapestry features are woven into a lighter (natural) plain woven linen ground. The top portion of the band depicts a robed figure with upraised hand standing beneath an architectural lintel supported by a column with simple base and capital. A tall fern-like plant grows beside this figure. The bottom portion (about a third of the whole) depicts an animal, possibly a lioness, with small rounded ears and outstretched front limbs. The lion is also woven in brown (possibly originally purple) with limbs and details outlined in natural colored linen using eccentric wrapped or flying needle technique. This animal is woven on a mixed ground of nautral or light linen and dark wool. The original selvage is present along the partial left and top sides and a short section (1-1/2") of purple and red braid is attached to the selvage at the upper left corner.
