Brocade structure: 2-1 twill (?), count 12. Shots between pile: 2, metal & twist: silver (?). Z tightness of wrap: super. Brocade only used in the medallions; wefts are a bit curvy. Selvedges: dimensions 2 cms. One side displays dark warps, near inner edge; middle portion shows proportionally more weft; then outer edge again shows more warps. Other side has red pile warp used in the selvedge. This textile has a reed or stick left in it at one end.
