Description:
This is an assortment of strips, rectangular and triangular pieces, pattern woven with warp and weft in different colours, and showing a conventional floral scroll with long narrow leaves, repeated 34 cm in the warp direction. The red colour of the wefts is almost faded to white in places. There are eight fragments of triangular shape, and all have one rolled and one stitched edge each. One piece also has a selvedge of 0.8 cm intact. Stein collected twenty-two fragments of this type of fabric from Cave 17, of which five are now in the British museum. The partly reconstructed floral pattern is in a naturalistic style similar to those of the Liao and Song dynasties. Weave structures: Warp: silk, S twisted, single, yellow, 46 ends/cm; Weft: silk, untwisted, single, red, 27 lats/cm. Weave structure: 5/1S twill for pattern on 1/5S twill for foundation. 斯坦因當年共發現了22片同樣的織物殘片，其中5片收藏于大英博物館，17片收藏於V&A博物館（LOAN:STEIN.646），除小量呈窄條帶形外，大多數爲三角形。該織物採用經緯線異色的方法織成，除MAS.934.a上緯線的紅色保存情況較好，餘者緯線多已褪成近白色。MAS.939.d的一側留有寬約0.8cm的幅邊。原圖案循環極大，是一爲大型的花卉卷草，經向循環爲34.0釐米。目前可以復原出局部的圖案是宜男花卉，一行左斜，另一行右斜，造型寫實生動，已帶有極爲明顯的遼宋寫生花卉的風格。 組織結構： 經線：絲，S撚，單根排列，黃色，46根/cm；緯線：絲，無撚，單根排列，紅色，27根/cm；組織：1/5S斜紋組織地上以5/1S斜紋組織顯花。
