Lot Essay

One, in polychrome, with three dancing figures between arches. For a very similar tunic fragment see J. Trilling, The Roman Heritage Textiles from Egypt and The Eastern Mediterranean 3400 to 600 A.D., Washington, 1982, p. 60, no. 42; another polychrome fragment with a naked female figure riding a dolphin and a figure beneath being carried in a covered chair; and another polychrome fragment with standing figures.
