woven fragment; Karanis; Textiles; Linen; Wool

Notes:

Fragment of woven fabric with yellowed wool warp, small remnants of undyed linen weft and a large tapestry oval (pendant ?). The oval is edged with slit tapestry floral motifs. Undyed linen weft-wrapping was used for patterning within the oval. Linen eccentric weft outlines the weft-wrapping area within the oval 0.7 cm. The wool tapestry weft appears to be varying shades of grey/green on less abraded (front?)side but is purple on the opposite side of the fabric.
