Period:Tang dynasty Production date:8thC-9thC
Materials:wool, 毛織品 (Chinese),
Technique:double faced weave, 雙面錦 (Chinese),
Dimensions:Length: 28 centimetres Width: 8 centimetres
Description:
A wool woven fragment. On a ground, mainly formed by dark blue, but partly blue and yellow alternately, the rose red is used for the geometrical pattern, which has a repeat of about 22cm in the warp direction. The unusual weave is double warp-faced weave woven by hand without a loom. There is a selvage left showing the direction of warp. This fragment was excavated from the ruins at Miran, so that it was probably made by the Tibetan weaver, and could be considered as an imitation of Tang style jin silk or samite. Weave structures: Warp: wool, S-2Z, single, mainly dark blue, blue/yellow, for one side, and rose red for the other side, 26 front ends/cm and 26 back ends/cm, proportion: one front warp to one back warp, among the front warps, one dark blue to either blue or yellow alternately; Weft: wool, Z twisted, yellow, paired, 8 pairs/cm. Weave structure: double-faced weave, in 3/1 broken twill. 毛織物殘片。正面以深藍色爲地，局部以藍黃交替爲地，以玫紅色顯示幾何紋圖案，其經向循環約爲22cm。其組織十分罕見，應爲手工編織而成的經顯花的雙面組織，一邊可見幅邊。由於這件織物出自米蘭戌堡，這種組織很可能是吐蕃織工所織，是對當時傳入西北地區的唐代織錦的模仿。 組織結構： 經線：毛，兩根Z撚線合成S撚的股線，單根排列，正面爲深藍、黃色和藍色交替，背面爲玫瑰紅，正面26根/cm，背面也是26根/cm；比例：正面和背面經線之比爲1：1，在正面之中，一根深藍與一根黃色或一根淺藍交替排列；緯線：毛， Z撚，黃色，成雙排列，8雙/cm；組織：3/1破斜紋雙面組織。
