Karanis; Textiles; Wool

Notes:

The above measurements do not reflect warp and weft directions. This piece consists of at least three fragments that have been sewn together. Fragment A - yellow warp and weft. At least 9 cm warp-wise, 13 cm weft-wise.; Fragment B - Fine yellow warp and weft with weft bands in blue and purple. The colors seem to fade into each other. There are two narrow weft bands of only two picks each in the blue and purple bands. Fragment C - Slightly coarser yellow warp and weft with weft bands as in fragment B. This fragment was sewn on with warp at right angles to fragments A and B.; The fragments were sewn together with linen yarn. There is a length of this linen yarn caught by the stitches along one edge of a piece of fragment C. Two narrow corners (fragments A and B) were tied together in a square knot (knotted end). One of these corners has dyed bands in different shades of green/blue and purple but without the two pick yellow divider.; Rainbow style shaded stripes.
