Descriptions
Object Description One of four partially woven miniature cloths, stackedtogeither. Three tan, one red-brown cotton woven in loose 1-1 plainweave, but only first 6-7 cm. woven. Each cloth has 2 weft, 1 warp selvage. Second warp end consists of cut warp yarns twisted into groups as fringe. Thick red brown yarn (very fragmentary) may have been used to sew the four together along warp selvages. Warp yarns appear different in each cloth, thus probably not woven on same web.
