Karanis; Textiles; Wool

Notes:

Fragment of yellowed woven wool fabric with a tapestry section. The tapestry area appears brownish but the yarn is a blend of pale red and a dull brown which could be a discolored dyed fiber, also. The solid tapestry area is 5.5 cm wide with somewhat oval extensions along both edges with yellow weft between. These shapes extend 1.2 cm to either side. The outer warps at both edges of the leaf shapes are paired. There are remnants of linen weft wrapping in the central rectangle. There are also remnants of linen slit tapestry elements along the weft-wise edges of the pale red and brown tapestry area.
