Tunic Front: Abstract Figures and Animals
View through Harvard Museums
The central and largest medallion on this tunic front shows a hunter standing next to a spotted feline. Below this is a lunette containing rabbits, plants, a hunter with a shield, and a female dancer. Three roundels run down each tunic band; these contain centaurs with musical instruments, animals, and a tree with birds. A grouping of four spotted centaurs dancing with instruments is repeated in the space between the roundels.
