EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of Ornamental Shoulder Bands from a Tunic, dating back to the 500s. Created by the Byzantine School in the 6th century, this tapestry weave with supplementary weft wrapping features a stunning combination of un-dyed linen and dyed wool. The bands were originally positioned vertically on a tunic, gracefully descending from the shoulders. The design is adorned with an enchanting array of figures and animals. Human figures can be seen standing under arches, alternating with dogs, rabbits, and even a majestic lion. On the right band, attention is drawn to a nude female dancer playing finger cymbals at both ends. In the center stands a hunter dressed in a short garment (chiton), carrying a shield in his right hand while raising a rock in his other hand. The left band presents equally fascinating imagery. From top to bottom, there is a nude male holding onto a leafy branch symbolizing nature's abundance. Following him is an elegantly dressed shepherd carrying his trusty crook and wearing an animal skin skirt. Lastly, there is another nude female dancer whose scarf loosely drapes behind her as she moves gracefully. This remarkable piece was gifted to the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio by George D. Pratt and continues to captivate viewers with its timeless artistry and historical significance.
