- Notes:
- Two fragments of woven fabric that have been sewn together.; Fragment A - Undyed linen warp and weft with green and red wool tapestry panel. The wool is very deteriorated but the green appears to form a partial background for a linen oval with a red rectangle in the center. This motif was repeated the length of the fragment. The warps were used in groups of three. There is a plain selvedge along each edge. They may not be an outside edge selvedge as there is an area along each edge where wefts wrap around edge warps but there are two extra warps that extend further out along one side and three extra warps on the other side. (see photo 13960P3) Fragment B - Fine undyed linen warp and weft with a plain selvedge.; The two fragments are attached at the selvedge edges.
