- Description
-
Three yellow wool plain weave fragments. One fragment has a selvage with two wefts. A successive weft was inserted into a new shed from the selvage when the previous weft was used up or broke, therefore sometimes it can be observed on the surface that three wefts are in a common shed.
Weave structures:
Warp: wool, Z twisted, single, yellow, 18 ends/cm; Weft: wool, Z twisted, single, yellow, 16 lats/cm. Weave structure: 1/1 plain weave.
黃色毛織物殘片，共有三塊，以平紋組織織成，其中一片殘留有部分幅邊，邊經兩根。在織造時如遇緯線斷裂或用完，該梭口保持不變，從幅邊處重又織入一緯，因此在織物表面表現爲三根緯線並入一個梭口的情況。
組織結構：
經線：毛，Z撚，單根排列，黃色，18根/cm；緯線：毛，Z撚，單根排列，黃色，16根/cm；組織：1/1平紋。

- Acquisition notes
- The 1907-11-11 group refers to objects from Stein's First Central Asian Expedition, 1900-01. According to Stein's Introduction to 'Ancient Khotan' (1907), the expedition was funded by the Governments of India, the Panjab (Punjab) and from provincial funds of Bengal. All the finds were shipped to London for sorting, research and publication. The Government of India then recommended that Dr Rudolf Hoernle, together with the British Museum, should determine the distribution of the finds (BM Archives, Stein Papers, CE32/23/5).
