Notes
Portion of a linen cloth, with two parallel bands of woven tapestry in purple wool and undyed linen thred, each having a pattern of oblongs alternating with groups of lozenges and circles. cf: Panel 7063 of the carved bone bridal-casket in Cairo Museum, also the bone fragment in V & A (Mus. 623-1884) from the Castellani collection. The design recalls that of a purple band found by Prof. Petrie at Hawarah in a grave of c. 340 AD.
