Description and Details
This ancient Egyptian linen fragment is a tabby-weave textile, possibly once used as a burial shroud or mummy wrapping. Its precise date within the Dynastic Period is unknown.
It is 100% Egyptian linen, woven in a dense, simple tabby or plain weave with an over-under structure. The hand-spun flax fibres have naturally uneven thickness, giving the cloth a pronounced texture. Its colours shift from warm wheat to tan.
A poignant remnant of everyday ancient textile-making, the fragment offers a close look at the structure and character of hand-woven linen.
