content: Original Catalog Number: 2749 Style: Spaced Weft Twining Twist: Z Raw Material 2: Rabbit Element: Mantle fragment Shape/Form: Rectangular Manufacturing Notes: Very fine twined wefts have deteriorated, leaving warps with crimping to show location of wefts. Wefts spaced about 1 cm. apart. Faint indication of color variation signifying that the cloth was once dyed. Difficult to make out the design because the warps are loose and misaligned. Could be circles. Residue: Calcareous - tiny bit. Use Trace: The bottom edge is heavily fringed - i.e. no selvage. Comments: This had been unrolled by Trowbridge and still resides in his original frame. The piece is long and one either end is a plaited tie terminated by a tassel of three smaller braids. The overall effect is of an apron. Color is evenly faded to a muted reddish brown. The top selvage has been worked into the braided tassels. In other words, the tassels are formed from part of the warp yarn. Each individual yarn is a 2-py z twist. The plaited tassel has approx. 15 strands, but its hard to count. This item was located in a cabinet in Hall 21 6/18/92, probably had been considered lost.
