Karanis; Textiles; Wool

Notes:

Fragment of woven wool fabric with yellowed warp, 1.5 cm of yellowed weft and 6 cm of a blue tapestry section. Much of the yellow weft has disappeared next to the tapestry, but there are wefts on both sides that encircle edge warps, so the tapestry section can be reconstructed as 4.5 cm across. The top edge is incomplete. Linen weft-wrapping and small slit tapestry elements were used for patterning. Most of the weft-wrapping has deteriorated. The yellow weft-wise edge has been folded and sewn.
