Karanis; Textiles; Wool

Notes:

Fragment of woven wool fabric with yellow plied warp and weft bands in yellow and several shades of brown (shaded stripes). Between the two wider bands, three narrow (3 or 4 picks each) yellow bands alternate with two dark brown bands (4 picks each). Two bands of dark brown and one of yellow are present along one edge, also. Yellow wool weft-wrapping was used in the wider bands to form patterns. The weft-wrapping is deteriorated but oval and other geometric forms can still be seen. There are some small yellow tapestry elements in the darker brown band. There are remnants of ribbed selvedges along both edges.
