Here is a fragment of fabric entirely made of linen, tightly woven but quite irregular in certain areas. Small cylinder-shaped beads of blue or green faience were knotted to a linen thread during the weaving process. The irregularities observable in certain areas seem to be related to the disappearance of these beads.

Voici un petit fragment de tissu constitué totalement de lin, au tissage relativement serré, mais très irrégulier sur certaines parties. De très petites perles cylindriques de faïence bleue ou verte sont parfois attachées directement à un brin de lin au moment même du tissage. Les irrégularités observées à certains endroits semblent dues à la disparition actuelle de ces perles.
