Karanis; Textiles; Linen; Wool

Notes:
Fragment of yellowed woven wool fabric with two purple tapestry bands (divided band). The bands are each 3 cm wide with 0.3 cm of yellow weft between. Along each edge of the purple bands there are small linen slit tapestry elements. Approximately 0.5 cm inside each edge of the bands there is a solid line consisting of 2, 3 or 4 picks of linen. Other patterning in the purple bands is formed by weft-wrapping. There are lines of dashes between the slit tapestry and solid linen lines in the central area where the linen is more deteriorated but may form an interlace pattern. Along one warp-wise edge the purple wefts encircle the outside warp and there are small remnants of dove-tailing with yellow wool.
