Description

Dyed and patterned after being woven. A kind of fabric, found mostly together with the ancient objects

Fragment of a tie-dyed, plain weave cloth. There is a seam down the middle. There is evidence of a warp end (visible in the red section), and there is a small bit of a weft selvage edge visible on the red square tie-dyed shape. It appears that the tie dyed squares were put together in a patch-work like construction. Color(s): Red, blue and white.
