Karanis; Textiles; Wool

Notes:

Three fragments of woven wool fabric that have been sewn together. Fragment A - yellowed warp and weft. Sewn on at right angles to the other two fragments.; Fragment B - yellowed warp and weft with two rows of countered weft-twining along one edge. The twining loops pass over two warps each.; Fragment C - yellowed warp and weft (2.5 cm wide) with three blue tapestry bands (2.1 cm, 1 cm, 2.3 cm wide). The three tapestry bands are separated by 0.2 cm wide yellow bands. Linen weft-wrapping was used to create patterns in the blue bands. Much of the weft-wrapping has deteriorated. There are small linen slit tapestry elements along the edges of the tapestry bands.
