Notes
Portion of a linen cloth, with ornaments woven in purple wool and undyed linen loops. Two of the four large roundels near the corners remain. One contains a star-shaped ornament surrounded by cuves, and in the other are four devices of interlacings. Two narrow parallel bands along the end contain wavy stems. The interlacings in the second roundel are similar to those at the corners of a square within a roundel discovered by Herr R=Forrer (Graeber, Fig 2). There was probably a central ornament, as in diagram in Gayet, Costume en Egypte. p. 174
