If I remember rightly, the coloured appliques came from Qasr Ibrim in Egypt and were described by Carol van Driel-Murray in a paper presented at RoMEC in 1999 at South Shields (which unfortunately did not make it into the 2000 JRMES). I remember her mentioning pink and yellow pieces of leather woven together and mounted(?) on a patch reminiscent of appliques found on shield covers. Unfortunately, as far as I know, no shield covers were found which could have confirmed the identification. She made the point at the time that if shield cover appliques were made in pink and yellow leather, then the shield covers themselves may very well have shared these colours as well.<br>
