ملاحظات	This fragmented linen cloth has an all-over abstract design woven with a discontinous supplementary weft of blue wool. The cloth was part of a large donation from H Martyn Kennard Esq. through Flinders Petrie in 1889. Kennard was wealthy and a keen amateur Egyptologist, who sponsored several of Petrie's excavations in Egypt. Many cloths of this type have been recovered in Egypt although at the present we are not certain of their original function. This specific textile might have served originally as a hanging as both sides are tidy. These cloths were found in burials, most of them already used, either wrapping or covering the dead.
Tarihsel bağlam	The weaving technique is not strictly speaking a brocading but similar to the Swedish traditional weaving called dukagÃ¥ng , which is with discontinous supplementary weft, also called swivel weave. This can easily be confused with embroidery as long ends are left on the back. Weaving took place with back up.
Malzemeler ve teknikler	Linen and wool brocading Linen Wool Brocading Plain Weave
Fiziksel açıklama	Fragments of linen cloth with a repeating all-over abstract design "brocaded" in blue wool. The design is a diamond grid keeping in its centre small crosses. The decoration, framed by self-coloured line, ceases a little way in from the selvedge. The discontinous supplementary weft goes under 1 over 3.
