Cloth

 

This cloth, which was part of the É. de Meester de Ravestein collection, bears the mark of the temple of Mentuhotep II. A detailed examination has shown that the fringed selvage, a characteristic which one finds on several cloths of the same category (compare E.6855), was not only decorative but also essentially technological.
