A fragment of a 3-dimensional border consisting of 6 yellow flowers branching from a green stalk. The lower flowers are shown as undeveloped buds while the top blooms are fully mature with enlarged red pistils and four petals. One lower bud has broken off but is preserved. Worked in cross-knit looping; z-spun, 2 plied s yarns.
Cross-knit, looped borders appear on cloths which may have been mantles, turbans, or, as Bird suggests, altar cloths. Some examples of cross-knit looping have detailed representations of costumed humans with dance or ritual paraphernalia (Harcourt).
Flowering plant that shows stages of maturation; crop plants and animals frequently represented in this period. A. Sawyer, p.c., suggests such images are concerned with fertility cult.
