Notes:

Fragment of woven wool fabric with brown/gold warp and small band (less than 1 cm wide) of brown/goldweft. Most of the fragment has green/blue weft with linen weft-wrapping. A band within the green/blue weft, approximately 2.5 cm wide is bordered by a row of linen slit tapestry ovals at top and bottom. The most complete of these ovals measures 0.3 cm x 0.4 cm. Each of the linen ovals is worked across three warps. They are connected by at least two picks of linen weft. Within this band there are remnants of linen weft-wrapping. The edge with the patterned band has been folded and sewn and a small part of the opposite edge was folded and sewn.
