The image shows a vertical strip of fabric with six rectangular sections, arranged one on top of the other, featuring designs in dark brown on a lighter brown background. The top section depicts a figure with one arm raised and a curved object in the other hand. The second section shows a figure leaning to one side with one arm raised. The third section features a figure with both arms outstretched. The fourth section shows a figure with one arm raised near their face and a round object in the other hand. The fifth section depicts a figure with one arm raised and a curved object in the other hand, similar to the top section but in a different position. The bottom section shows a vessel with handles. The fabric appears worn and frayed around the edges. The background of the image is a solid light-brown color. Ornamental Shoulder Bands from a Tunic by unknown artist.
