Tunic
Cultures of the north-central coast8th-14th century
Mudec - Museum of Cultures
Milan, Italy
Metal tiles sewn on an ancient fabric, recomposed starting from at least two uncoherent pieces sewn together to form a back-and-front robe. On the neckline 17 golden tiles (16 of rectangular form and one of circular form) create a decoration. This is an antiquarian’s pastiche in which different original elements have been assembled.
