DescriptionWide band of white linen, edged with narrow stripes of dark blue wool through which run vines woven with white linen. In the middle of the linen band are four heart-shaped leaves of pink and red wool, and two oval composite forms of orange yellow, pink, red, green and blue wool and white linen, one at each end. The design shows Byzantine influence.
