ΗΝΑΜ inv. no Π 9575
The preserved textile is confined to diminutive areas where it directly contacted the metal, and its overall preservation is extremely poor. While technical details are not recoverable, the find demonstrates widespread use of textiles in weapon wrapping across multiple tombs.
Due to the state of preservation, macroscopic study could not determine the fabric structure, thread twist, diameter, or thread count. The textile appears to be a single layer, with no observable technical or decorative elements. No sample extraction was possible for optical or SEM analysis, and the nature of the fibre remains undetermined.
