content: Style: Twill Element: Mat selvage fragment Shape/Form: Long Alteration: Heat Manufacturing Notes: A large mat-like creation consisting of 3 layers of twillwork. Piece is from the selvage and shows clearly how one layer was folded over and reworked to finish off the edge. Long wide piece of woody cane runs along the piece between the layers. This probably served for support. Residue: Tiny bits of organic material. Use Trace: Had been in a fire, because the edge opposite the selvage is charred. Comments: Twill is a large weave. although the 2 pieces present are laid end to end, the twill dont match. The large piece is something like 17-3-1, the small piece is 6-2-1. Both are 3 layers thick. Edges are frayed more on the smaller piece.
