- Notes:
- Two fragments of woven wool fabric that have been sewn together at right angles.; Fragment A - brown warp and weft with a divided pinstripe 2.7 cm from one edge. The divided pinstripe is 0.3 cm wide and constists of 3 picks of undyed linen with four picks of blue wool on either side. There is a remnant of a twined border near the pinstripe.; Fragment B - yellow warp and weft with a divided band 5 cm from one edge. This band is 1 cm wide and consists of two 0.4 cm wide blue bands divided by 0.3 cm of yellow weft. There are 14 picks in each blue section and 11 picks of yellow in between.

- Notes:
- Fragment of yellowed woven wool fabric with three blue/black weft bands. The complete band is 3.5 cm wide. The other two bands are very damaged. One is approximately 0.7 cm, the other is too deteriorated for an accurate measurement. Between the three bands, the yellow wefts measure approximately 0.4 cm. Edging the intact blue/black band there are linen slit tapestry elements, 0.2 cm to 0.3 cm wide, using two warps each. In between, there are two unused warps. Along one edge of the next blue/black band, the linen slit tapestry uses 5 warps each, with one unused warp between. Along one edge of the Weft-wrapping within the blue/black bands is very deteriorated and patterning is unreadable. A small piece of similar yellowed woven wool fabric was sewn on along one edge. A bundle of unevenly dyed red yarn is tangled with some of the loose yarns.

- Notes:
- Small fragment of brown and red goat hair yarns that are, possibly, a remnant of a loop from a woven goat hair strap. The red yarns were unevenly dyed or have faded and much of the yarn is yellow.

- Notes:
- Fragment of yellowed woven wool fabric with remnants of three blue tapestry bands. The center band is 1.5 cm wide, the two other bands are 1.7 cm wide each. Each band widens in the center. Due to stitching and damage, accurate measurement is not possible. There are remnants of linen slit tapestry pattern elements in the wider sections. There are rows of sewing as well as a section of repair stitching (darning) through the tapestry bands.

- Notes:
- Fragment of woven wool fabric with a plied beige warp and beige weft. There are a few remnants of narrow brown bands at one end and eccentric weft with a few brown discontinuous wefts. Tapestry may have been present originally. There is a remnant of a ribbed selvedge.

- Notes:
- Fragment of woven wool fabric with plied warp which is a mixture of brown and yellow yarns, sometimes one ply of each. There are weft bands in several shades of brown (shaded stripes?) and a small amount of yellow. There is a ribbed selvedge along one edge and there are a few warp loops along an adjacent edge but the border is very deteriorated. There are remnants of tapestry near the border edge and at one edge of a very damaged section in the center. Eccentric weft (wool) and small slit tapestry elements (linen) are present. At the selvedge side of the tapestry band near the border there are wefts in green/blue and orange. There are three edges that have wefts encircling the edge warp. Two of these edges divide the fragment. To one side there is linen weft-wrapping and a narrow weft band of 7 picks of purple wool; on the other side the weft-wrapping is mostly wool, with a small amount of linen, and there is no evidence of a purple weft band. There are a few wool slit tapestry elements along the weft edge of both of these sections. The weft-wrapping occurs through most of the brown bands, but not in the tapestry. Both wool and linen weft-wrapping are very deteriorated but the patterns appear to be geometric motifs (rectangles, triangles and, perhaps, meanders). The weft is unevenly spun; some thick, some thin and varies from high to low twist.

- Notes:
- Very large brown/black woven goat hair bag. This is an almost complete, although damaged and deteriorated, bag. The piece of fabric was folded, weft-wise and sewn along each warp-wise edge with coarse linen yarn. Repairs of the side seams have been made with palm fiber and with coarse wool yarn. Single rib selvedges are present along both sides. The top is open. One edge of the woven fabric was finished by folding and sewing. The other edge has an interlocking looped border. There are thick goat hair loops added to each corner of the open edge. A long piece of palm fiber rope has been tied to one loop. This rope consists of two 2-ply cords that have been twisted against each other. There are five yellow bands near the center of the fabric. Four of the bands consist of two picks of yellow, two picks of black, two picks of yellow. One band has a third section of two picks of yellow. There are badly damaged remnants of supplementary weft (or weft-wrapping) diamonds between two of the yellow bands. These bands and diamonds appear only on one side of the bag. There is also a small amount of red in the pattern.

- Notes:
- Two groups of multiple warps 65.5 cm apart. 1) two consecutive sets, 4 threats per shot, ca. 0.6 cm. wide; 2) Three threads per shot, 0.2 cm. wide; The selvedges define the width of the original fabric and design.; Large fragment of undyed woven linen fabric with parts of both selvedges and two multiple weft ribs near one edge. A very small (1 cm x 1 cm) fragment of high luster woven wool fabric with blue/black discontinuous wefts was found on this fragment, caught within one of the holes.
