Karanis; Textiles

Notes:

Small fragment of woven wool fabric with yellowed warp, a 3.5 cm wide band of yellowed weft and two remnants of tapestry at either end. The tapestry is very dirty, deteriorated and discolored. Mostly purple and yellowed wool were used with some undyed linen weft-wrapping. Some of the purple wool weft appears greenish. Patterns are difficult to discern but the intact edges of the tapestry are scalloped.
