Three Textile Bands (Clavi): Lotus Flowers and Leaves
4th-6th century
Description
Three bands with the same design, all likely from the same textile. Each band features a central buff strip with red eight petalled flowers alternating with a pair of round green leaves with bits of yellow. The red flowers with green circular leaves suggest the plants should be identified as lotuses. On either side of the central buff band are black bands with scrolling brown vines with buff leaves.
