Plain woven linen with looped wool pile Linen Wool Plain Weave Looped Pile
Fiziksel açıklama
One of three small fragments of a plain woven undyed linen cloth, possibly a hanging. Decoration has been created with looped pile, formed from picks of dyed woolen weft woven into the ground fabric. Two fragments depict the forearm and leg of a naked putto figure, the skin highlighted and shaded in several shades of pink, alongside floral stems in red and green (and on one fragment, additional blue and yellow buds). The stem of one vine is made of multiple coloured wools woven together. The third fragment has the end of either a wing or chlamys in green. From the same textile as 286-1891 and possibly 307-1891.
