Two textile fragments are presented, joined by a seam. They are made of blue silk with a satin weave, with an embroidery application based on golden thread twisted with a linen core, drawing scrolls and zoomorphic figures using polychrome silk. On the upper part is a fragment of a shield made of coloured silk banding. A small fragment of the original linen lining with taffeta binding has also survived.
