Akhim 2nd/3rd C Taquete

This is a sample, from a series of weavings based on a 2nd/3rd C textile. The original is held at the Textile Workers Centre, where I studied it. The original textile is in 2 green wefts. There is also a solid red border above and below the motif.  The purpose for this textile is unkown, after my study of the textile the Victoria and Albert Museum has proposed that this was intended for use as a cushion cover.

My study notes are as follows:
