Amulet, Tassel; Karanis; Textiles; Flax; Wool

Notes:

The above measurements do not reflect warp and weft directions. This small piece is probably a decorative tassel (pendant?) with undyed linen yarn and yellow and purple wool. The linen yarns have been tied in a large overhand knot at the opposite end from the wool. A section of linen yarns also has a knot.
