Two Bands with Coiling Vines

3rd-5th century CE

Description

Two identical interlacing vines are tapestry woven in dark wool and undyed linen. The coiling vines form medallions containing simple eight petalled flowers inside a border of dots. Areas of plain weave linen separate the two bands of tapestry woven design and appear at the left of the textile fragment. ‘Flying shuttle’ technique creates details of the vines and medallions in supplementary undyed linen wefts. Matches MFA 96.196, also of the Denman Waldo Ross Collection
