Notes:

Fragment of yellowed woven wool fabric with remnants of three blue/black tapestry bands. One band is incomplete, 0.5 cm wide at one edge. The other two are 0.8 cm to 2.2 cm and 1.1 cm to 3.5 cm. The widest parts of each band contain linen slit tapestry elements as well as linen weft-wrapping. The fragment was folded and sewn along one edge and there is a row of countered weft-twining 1 cm from the fold. The row does not go completely across the fragment. The twining loops pass over two warps each.
