LIST OF ANTIQUITIES FROM BURIAL PLACE 7

Grave 7 A.

7. A: 1. Seven large fragm. from a gown of
loosely woven silk, undyed, discoloured
to brown, in plain weave, with remaining dressing
(glue from silk worm?). One fairly large piece
has fragm. from back and front with seam; a
gusset is inserted in the lower part of the gown.
Here is a patch of loosely woven silk in plain
weave, undyed, slippery. It is uncertain whether
the coat has been lined with this silk.
Strips of strawberry-coloured silk taffeta, 5—6
cm. wide, are sewn on to the edges of several
fragm. of silk from the gown. One piece shows
red silk strip with a pleat round the corner.
The seams of the gown are made of rather
coarse, undyed (?) silk.

7. A: 2-3. Portions of waist-band, sewn together
with the same undyed silks as in the
gown.

7. A: 4. Strip of undyed, yellowish-white cot-
ton fabric in plain weave, partly dis-

coloured to brown. Cut somewhat on the bias right
across width. In one half two shoots, each consist-
ing of two blue cotton threads. Around the strip
is tied another strip of red silk taffeta, figured in
batik with small lozenges.

7. A: 5. Strip of same kind as —: 4 but not
tied. L. 72.5 cm.

7. A: 6. Collar of the gown, sewn together of
several pieces of silk of four or five
patterns. At one end is a strip of the same silk as
the undyed one from gown. At the other end a
strip of undyed cotton fabric in plain weave,
meant for tying. The collar has been folded. Silks
*a* and *b* have probably been on the outside, cf.
Fig. 20.

a) Figured weft-rib, figure warp 2-ply. Ground
deep blue. Pattern red, beige, bluish green,
white and blue from ground, incomplete horned
quadruped with straight upright wings, lion's
tail with check pattern and indistinct orna-
mental shapes. Western origin.
