Karanis; Textiles; Wool

Notes:

Two fragments of woven wool fabric, possibly from the same web, that have been sewn together.; Fragment A - yellowed warp and weft with three blue tapestry bands. There are small remnants of undyed linen pattern elements in all three bands. The center band seems to preserve an arrowhead motif. There is a row of countered weft-twining 1.7 cm from one edge and a small remnant of twining next to the edge. The twining loops pass over two warps each.; Fragment B - yellowed warp and weft. This piece was sewn to fragment A at right angles.
