Probably a headcloth, this cotton fabric combines plain weave, in some places with discontinuous wefts creating a pattern of short slits, with areas where pairs of warps are crossed before wefts are inserted to create an openwork image of the rayed head. The embroidery is in a distinctive technique that uses diagonal stitching in both figure and ground areas to create Broad Line images. TM 91.1009.
