Ast. vi. 02. Fr. of figured silk (from tomb vi. 1). Fr.
with pattern in yellow and buff on crimson ground. Pattern
repeats horizontally, and with slight variations vertically.
A row of pairs of confronting stork-like forms. Each of
these has a single-line angular spiral neck without head
and carries on his pouting breast an upright stem.
This bifurcates at the height of 1″, forming half an arch
to R. and L. With opposing similar curves alternate
wide and narrow arches are found, the narrow ones being
in front of the birds and showing a square within. The
tails of the two adorsed birds rise straight and combine
into a bowl-shaped flower edged at top with filaments.
This furnishes the larger arch.
Above this the stems rise abruptly vertically and combin-
ing throw off, R. and L., flowers and leaves. Stems forming
small arch also rise, and scrolling over carry each an
elliptical berry. The single angular leg of each stork bears
at right angles to its downward direction a bowl-shaped
bud with five short projecting filaments. Height of repeat
5″; width 1⅟₁₆″. Cf. L.C. 02, Pl. XXXV, for certain
characteristics. Warp-rib weave. Torn at edges and part
perished. Dimensions of piece 12″×10½″. Pl. LXXVIII.

than the other colours, the open red band is closer than the
other open band. The close (and narrower) bands are
yellow and ochre. The weft is in bands of dark brown,
pale yellow, red, ochre, blue, pale yellow, red, pale yellow.
Fine weaving. Perished. Largest piece c. 3½″ square.
