cloth doll with 6 stones; Karanis; Dolls; Toys; Wool; Plant materials; Unidentified Stone; Human

Notes:

Doll formed by folding a fragment of yellowed woven wool fabric in half, inserting a few small pieces of rock near the center (to form a “head”) and wrapping palm fiber cords around to form a “neck”. The cord consists of two strands of palm fiber, slightly Z-twisted and tied at both ends with overhand knots. There are several stitches in the fabric. Weft yarns are unevenly spun; thick and thin, loose to tightly twisted and kinked.
