介绍（中）	丝绸是用于制造纺织品的最奢华的纤维之一，由几种蛾类产生的茧丝制成。丝绸起源于中国、中亚和印度，在罗马时期通过陆上和海上贸易路线网络首次到达地中海。拜占庭国内丝绸生产始于公元553-54年，查士丁尼一世统治时期，当时蚕蛾卵被引入该地区；丝绸工业最终成为拜占庭经济的主要组成部分这个片段描绘了一个穿着束腰外衣的男性形象，他的肩膀上覆盖着一层Palium。他一只手拿着十字架，另一只手举着长矛，用来阻挡蛇。树叶和花朵的边界构成了图像的框架。里昂的装饰艺术博物馆（Musée des Tissus et des Arts Décoratifs）中有一个完全相同的例子。像这样的带子被单独编织作为装饰元素，并被应用于服装上。
介绍（英）	Silk, one of the most luxurious fibers used to create textiles, is made from the cocoon filaments produced by several species of moth. Originating from China, Central Asia, and India, silk first reached the Mediterranean during the Roman period via a network of land and sea trade routes. Byzantine domestic silk production began in A.D. 553–54, under Justinian I, when silk-moth eggs were introduced to the region; the silk industry eventually became a major element of the Byzantine economy. This fragment depicts a male figure dressed in a tunic with a pallium draped over his shoulders. He holds a cross in one hand and a pike in the other, which he uses to keep a serpent at bay. A border of leaves and flowers frames the images. An identical, though complete, example is housed in the Musée des Tissus et des Arts Décoratifs, Lyon. Bands such as these were woven separately as decorative elements and were applied to garments.
