Fragmentary Segmentum from a Tunic

Cleveland Museum of Art

Fragmentary Segmentum from a Tunic, is a semi-circular piece of fabric with a green background and a red and gold border. The fabric features several gold animals, including lions and possibly a deer, surrounded by red and gold floral patterns. The green fabric has jagged edges except on the right side where it appears to have been torn away from a larger piece. The fabric backing is a beige color. The piece appears to be a remnant of a larger textile, likely a tunic.
