This fragment was once part of a hairnet worn by a woman in Egypt during the first millennium AD. The narrow plain woven band at the lower edge would have been worn on the forehead or brow. The hairnet was made in a technique called sprang. Sprang is made by a set of warp threads between a pair of beams and then a fabric is generated by interlinking the warp threads. The material grows inward from both ends with symmetrical top and bottom halves and gives a natural elasticity.
