Notes:

Fragment of woven fabric with plied linen warp, remnants of linen weft wrapping and several colors of wool weft in bands as follows:; dark brown 2 picks; medium brown 2 or 3 picks; variegated blue/green 4.5 cm; red 1 cm; variegated brown 1.5 cm; purple/red 0.7 cm; blue/green 0.2 cm; off white/yellowed 1 cm; pink, alternating with blue/green 0.3 cm; brown 5.5 cm; Remnants of linen patterning (weft wrapping) appear throughout the fragment. The linen is very deteriorated but seems to be a roughly checkerboard pattern from the purple/red band to the 4.5 cm blue/green band. In the 5.5 cm wide brown band, the linen weft wrapping forms a semi circle near the edge, with the remainder of linen patterning too deteriorated to describe.
