Karanis; Textiles; Wool

Notes:

Fragment of yellowed woven wool fabric with three blue/black weft bands. The complete band is 3.5 cm wide. The other two bands are very damaged. One is approximately 0.7 cm, the other is too deteriorated for an accurate measurement. Between the three bands, the yellow wefts measure approximately 0.4 cm. Edging the intact blue/black band there are linen slit tapestry elements, 0.2 cm to 0.3 cm wide, using two warps each. In between, there are two unused warps. Along one edge of the next blue/black band, the linen slit tapestry uses 5 warps each, with one unused warp between. Along one edge of the Weft-wrapping within the blue/black bands is very deteriorated and patterning is unreadable. A small piece of similar yellowed woven wool fabric was sewn on along one edge. A bundle of unevenly dyed red yarn is tangled with some of the loose yarns.
