Yellowed woven wool fabric.; Fragment B - innermost layer and middle dyed layer. Brown warp and blue/black weft.; Fragment C - next to outer layer. Yellowed warp, purple weft.; Yellowed yarns were wrapped around the doll’s “neck”. Purple yarns were wrapped around the “neck” on top of the yellowed yarns, tied, and both ends carried to the opposite end fo the doll and wrapped around.
