介绍（中）	交错和结是拜占庭早期艺术中最常用的图案之一。它们在纺织品上尤其常见，包括大型帷幔、家具套和服装，创造这种图案所需的高水平工艺表明奢华和财富。一个人只看一眼就能造成伤害的信念在整个古代世界都很普遍，错综复杂的交错和结可能是为了起到保护作用：它们为眼睛创造了一个迷宫，吸引伤害或嫉妒的目光，从而防止它作恶。事实上，某些设计，例如所罗门的结 - 由交错形成十字架的环形带形成的图案 - 被认为是apotropaic（来自希腊语apotropaios，意思是"远离邪恶"）。这件束腰外衣的装饰完全由交错和结的重复图案组成。嵌套的正方形形成标记衣服肩膀和膝盖的白板。在肩部，一系列互锁的侧阶三角形围绕着一个深色正方形，其角落由精细的扭索纹交错网连接。一个充满八字形结的矩形完成了正方形的每一条面。另一组燕尾三角形构成了中央正方形，其交错角括号包围了一个充满叶子的圆圈，周围环绕着交错。膝盖处的白板遵循相同的模式，但它们的中心有一个所罗门结而不是一片叶子。锁骨用相同的侧阶梯三角形带铰接。深色内部饰带饰有交替的扭索纹交错矩形和八字结。叶形吊坠从锁骨上垂下。每个袖子都饰有一对遵循相同图案的带子：围绕交错矩形和互锁八字结的榫眼三角形。上衣的亚麻地面上点缀着自带（多条未染色纬线的装饰带）。
介绍（英）	Interlaces and knots are among the most frequently employed motifs in the arts of the early Byzantine period. They are especially common on textiles, including large hangings, furniture covers, and clothing, and the high level of craftsmanship required to create such patterns suggests luxury and wealth. The belief that a person could inflict harm with only a glance was widespread throughout the ancient world, and intricate interlaces and knots may have been intended to serve a protective function: they created a labyrinth for the eye, drawing in the injurious or envious gaze and thus preventing it from doing evil. Indeed, certain designs, such as the knot of Solomon - a motif formed by looped bands that interlace to form a cross - were believed to be apotropaic (from the Greek apotropaios, meaning "turning away evil"). The decoration of this tunic consists entirely of repeated patterns of interlace and knots. Nested squares form the tabulae that mark the shoulders and knees of the garment. At the shoulders, a series of interlocking side-stepped triangles surround a dark square, the corners of which are articulated by a web of fine guilloche interlace. A rectangle filled with a figure-eight knot completes each side of the square. Another set of dovetailed triangles frames the central square, whose interlace corner brackets enclose a circle filled with a leaf surrounded by an interlace. The tabulae at the knees follow the same pattern, but they have a knot of Solomon rather than a leaf at center. The clavi are articulated with the same band of side-stepped triangles. The dark interior band is decorated with alternating rectangles of guilloche interlace and figure-eight knots. Leaf-shaped pendants dangle from the clavi. Each sleeve is finished with a pair of bands that follows the same pattern: mortised triangles surrounding rectangles of interlace and interlocking figure-eight knots. The linen ground of the tunic is embellished with self-bands (ornamental bands of multiple, undyed weft threads).
