Coptic tunic, found in a grave dating about 400 B. C.

Sleeve tunic of safron yellow wool with woven pattern resembling tapestry work. The opening for the neck is placed horizontally like that of the Roman tunic. The side seams, as well as those of the sleeves, are trimmed with twisted woollen cord. Purple tunics were much favoured, as well as those of natural colour wool. The latter had patterns of a brownviolet tint. Coptic tunics often have vertical stripes next to the neck-opening reaching to the nether hem in the ancient Roman fashion
