Black & White and Color Diagrams of the tablet-woven band; after Nockert. Note that the actual colors of woven design are my estimate based on a black and white photo of the pattern and a general description ("the pattern is yellow, orange, and green against a red ground"). The band is 4.5 cm (1.8") wide, and was sewn on as a completed edging. A green piece of string was sewn onto the outer edging of the band.
