FURTHER DETAILS
Pattern
Coloured lines appear to contain only one weft thread as ground for the coloured line. The coloured lines appear to be brown. Between each line are 5 single shots of weft. The lines end short of the edge of the fragment, possibly in a convex curve outwards, i.e. the design is curvilinear at this point.
