Coptic textile fragment, unknown maker from Egypt

The center roundel has two winged putti (nude young males) and two unwinged putti. The central figure is possibly a young female holding a blue bird. The two figures above are holding a bowl of fruit, the symbol of plenty. Seen as a typical attribute of putti, the two winged figures are presenting offerings. Between the putti are quadrupeds. The outer roundel shows Sassanian Persian horsemen wearing short tunics and leggings while fighting lions. The Sassanians (also referred to as Sassanids, 3rd-7th century) were in Egypt between the sixth and seventh centuries, originating from Persia.
