Inventory number

Description
14 fragments.; Max. dimension 13 x 5,5 cm; Min. dimension 3 x 0,5 cm;
Parallel bands are formed by three threads of system 2 (likely the weft) inserted together in one shed, separated by two sheds with single picks, following a repeat sequence of 3:1:1:3. The sporadic insertion of pairs of threads appears to be a weaving fault.
