Textile pouch/cap-like fabric fragment decorated with dense gold-colored threadwork on a dark blue/black ground, likely a Late Antique wool item.
The image shows a small, irregularly shaped textile fragment laid on a white background. It appears to be a cap or pouch (catalogued as “Cap”) comprised of dark blue/black wool fabric with tightly worked, looping decorative bands and geometric/ornamental motifs in a golden/yellow thread. The piece has fringed or unraveling edges along the sides and bottom. Two looped/corded ties or tassels are visible at the top corners, suggesting a garment or head-cover closure. No clear hieroglyphic or Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible on the artifact surface. No cartouches or royal names are identifiable, and no deities are clearly depicted in a way that can be confirmed from this image alone.
