ملاحظات
Portion of a cloth, woven in brown and buff-coloured wools with a diaper of small octagons each enclosing a bird. On the bands forming the octagons are wavy stems, and there are small rosettes in the intervening spaces. On the right side is a plain purple tapestry-woven stripe. Two narrow vertical red stripes of weving interrupt the pattern near the right edge. The design is the same as that of 243-1890, but slightly larger in scale; the colours of pattern and ground are reverse.

Weft-faced compound tabby in wool Wool Weaving
Fiziksel açıklama
Fragment from a tunic, woven in weft-faced compound tabby in brown and buff-coloured wools, with a diaper pattern of small octagons enclosing birds. On the bands forming the octagons are wavy stems, and there are small rosettes in the intervening spaces. On one side of the fabric is a plain, blue stripe, part of a clavus. Parallel to this are two thin narrow stripes, weft twined in red thread. At the top on the left hand side is an area of selvedge, which once formed the edge of the tunic neck-slit, and on top of this is a narrow red and green woolen band, which follows the selvedge before turning 90 degrees and running along the neck-slit.
