Tombstones

[mcbishop]

There appears to be something knotted around the neck which seems to go under (I am tempted to say tucked into) the smoothed area, and then the 'material' of the tunic is held up in some way.

Not essential to my happiness to know...just curious :wink:

I had assumed it was the scarf showing above the neck opening of the cape, similar to what is depicted on Largennius (the scarf there sitting between the cape and tunic beneath, its ends overlapping, as the Mainz fragment seems to show):



There is a barely visible cummerbund, similar to that shown on the other Bingen/Bingerbrück tombstones like Annaius Daverzus, but I don't think I would see it as a tunic held up with a tie in a sort of Just William fashion ;-)
