Narrow ornamental bands called clavi and matching roundels or squares commonly adorned the clothing of wealthy Egyptians. They were generally woven in pairs simultaneously with the wider expanses of linen or wool forming the body of the tunic or shawl. Within the bands and geometric shapes, weavers could explore many decorative themes. In this example, designs of stylized animals (hare, fish, and a lion or other four-legged beast) and floral designs are discernible, although difficult to interpret. However, the beautifully articulated wave border proves that the weavers of these figures were no less skillful than those who produced more readable forms.
