DescriptionMedallion is made of several fragments. In the middle are lotus flowers, buds and birds (Nilotic motifs). On four sides are fragments of various borders with floral motifs. The edges consist of plain red bands. This piece was evidently made from fragments of the same garment as 11.1411 and 11.1425.
