- Notes:
- Fragment of woven undyed linen fabric with a remnant of fringe along one edge. At the opposite edge is a remnant of decorative weft-wrapping. Photo 13426P2; A section of the warp was not woven with balanced plain weave. Groups of four warps were wrapped with either finer linen yarn or dark brown wool yarn. These groups alternate next to the plain weave edge. Farther along the warps there is a small section of weft-faced plain weave using two warps as one. At the ends of the loose warps there are three more sections of weft-wrapping, one with wool, two with linen. A section next to the weft-wise edge of the fragment is woven in balanced plain weave, even though it is even with this decorative area.; Photo 13426P3; Warps have been grouped and twisted together to form two cords which were tied together at one end. As many as 18 warps could be involved.; Photo 13426P4; There are a few areas of discontinuous wefts in the linen fabric.

- Notes:
- Tapestry roundel with yellowed warp and purple weft. There are linen slit tapestry motifs near the outside edge. Linen weft-wrapping was used for patterning within the roundel but is now very deteriorated. Approximately 2/3 of the roundel was woven with a dark purple and the other 1/3 with a lighter purple. A small amount of the yellow ground weave is present around the outside of the roundel.
