woven fragment; Karanis; Textiles; Wool; Leaf, vine

Notes:

Fragment of yellowed woven wool fabric with remnants of purple tapestry. One is a 3.5 cm wide band with a vine scroll motif and a single row of weft-twining along one edge. 0.7 cm from this row there is a double row of countered weft-twining. The twining loops pass over two warps each. The other section is 6 cm wide and is either a portion of a wide band or square with very deteriorated interior linen weft-wrapping. At one corner of the yellow weft section there is an area of darning repair. Also in this area, there is a very small piece of similar yellowed fabric that has been sewn to the main fragment.
