Band with Curling Vine
Byzantine
Band consists of a single scrolling purple vine of large five-lobed leaves on curling stems. There are areas of false hatching (in which a light and dark thread are carried together in the weft) inside the spaces created by the vine's curling tendrils. Narrow areas of plain woven linen survive on outer edges of the tapestry woven band.
