Notes:

Fragment of yellowed woven wool fabric with a ribbed selvedge, weft bands and a tiny remnant of dovetail tapestry, as well as a twining cord along the edge that could be a remnant of a border or of a weft-twining row. 0.5 cm from the twining there is a 0.3 cm wide red weft band with 8 picks. 2.3 cm from this band there is a purple divided pinstripe. Each purple stripe has 5 picks, with 4 picks of yellow between. At the opposite end there is a tiny section of purple dovetail tapestry clinging to three warps.
