Karanis; Textiles; Wool

Notes:

Fragment of woven wool fabric with 2-ply yellow warp, mostly yellow weft with a few very deteriorated bands of brown, red and blue (shaded stripes?). There are areas of eccentric weft along one edge. There is a discontinuous pick of red wool near a warp-wise edge with areas of discontinuous yellow wefts that create a gathered appearance in the fabric. There is a discontinuous brown band which comes to a point along this same edge. Along the opposite warp-wise edge there is a short discontinuous pick of blue weft. Other brown bands are present along a weft-wise edge. There are areas of red and blue blended wool in these bands. These bands are very deteriorated.
