Large Interlace Roundel from a Domestic Textile or Tunic

4th century
Not on view
Roundels like this one, adorned many types of cloth--hangings, covers, tunics, and shrouds. Without further evidence, it is impossible to determine this roundel's original application or use, though it seems large for a tunic.
