Karanis; Textiles; Wool

Notes:

Fragment of yellowed woven wool fabric that has been folded and sewn. There is a divided weft band near the center. The total width is 0.7 cm. There are 14 purple picks in one half and 16 in the other half. There are three picks of yellow separating the two halves. Along one folded edge there is a red band 1cm wide. At the warp-wise folded edge there is a remnant of interior warp ribs. There are three ribs but due to damage and the fact that the fabric is folded, it is difficult to count the warps in the ribs. There may be as many as 6 in one and at least 4 each in the other two.
