Quote:About your pattern, the decoration looks to my mind as not earlier than late third century, and I would even dare to say the those clavi finials should be even later...
The cuff bands never span the whole width. Remember that part of the material there was simply tucked inside when the rectangular sleeves were sewn in a tapering form to create those narrow cuffs.
Thanks for your quick reply! Late 3rd / early 4th was exactly in my mind, good to hear that. I'll correct the cuff bands and maybe simplify those finials...
