The Global Egyptian Museum

Orbiculus made in multi-coloured tapestry. The decoration is divided over two registers. In the upper register are two haloed figures next to two peacocks, which are separated by a highly stylized vegetal motif. The lower register shows a winged central figure, flanked by two animals opposite each other with their heads turned. The whole composition stands out against a red ground and is encircled by a double embroidery: the inner consists of stylized flowers united by stems and the outer of angularly placed chevrons.

Orbículo realizado en tapicería de varios colores. La decoración se dispone en dos registros: en el superior, dos figuras nimbadas junto a dos pavos que están separadas por un motivo vegetal muy estilizado. En el inferior hay otra figura central alada flanqueada por dos animales afrontados con la cabeza girada. Toda esta composición destaca sobre el fondo rojo, y está rodeada por un doble bordado, el interior con flores estilizadas unidas por tallos y el exterior con chevrones en disposición angular.
