Karanis; Textiles; Wool; Rosette

Notes:

Fragment of woven wool fabric with yellowed warp and weft and a wide purple and white tapestry band along the center of this rectangular strip. There are some linen slit tapestry triangles along each edge of the 2.5 cm wide band. Linen weft-wrapping and tapestry as well as eccentric weft were used to create patterning within the band. The linen patterning is very deteriorated. Stitches form a tuck next to the tapestry band. There is a double row of countered weft-twining 1.5 cm from the tapestry band. The twining loops pass over two warps.
