Notes:

Fragment of yellowed woven wool fabric with remnants of two purple weft bands 1.4 cm from one edge. The bands are 2 cm apart and 0.5 cm and 1 cm in width. There are remnants of linen slit tapestry elements in the wider purple band. There are several random stitches. There is a very damaged row of weft-twining 1.7 cm from the wider purple band. The twining loops that are present (most have worn away) pass over two warps each.
