Notes
Portion of a linen cloth, with ornaments tapestry-woven in purple wool and undyed linen thread. Two of the four large star-shaped panels near the corners remain; they are filled with vine-stems partly enclosed withi circles. Near each end are two narrow parallel bands with vine-stems. The band of bare warp threads at the bottom shows where rods have been inserted to facilitate the weaving. Similar panels, but with interlacings within the circle, were found at Akhmim.
