Source Description
This fragment comes from the upper area of a tunic, with thick embroidery defining remnants of the neck opening. In the rectangular area on the chest are two similar long-tailed creatures rendered in a highly geometric style. Each is rotated 90 degrees, so their tails are parallel to the bottom edge. The cloven hooves on their upper legs may identify the creatures as deer or Andean camelids, such as llamas or alpacas.
