Description
The textile surface is an open tabby weave with a light appearance. In system 2, one thread of larger diameter (diam. 0.49 mm; S twist / 36°) is inserted, likely for decorative purposes. The state of preservation and the dimensions of the fabric do not allow to verify additional larger-diameter threads.
