About this work

Sleeve of jacket, green with white stripes, made of thin, supple fabric. The jacket was probably unlined. The narrow sleeve was fastened at the wrist with two buttons and consists of two large elongated sections and a small strip inserted under the arm. The sleeve was probably originally only partially sewn to the body. The 0.85 cm wide lengthwise stripes are formed by alternating groups of light brown (originally white?) and green warp threads. The light brown weft yarn is largely covered by the warp threads due to the weaving method. Woven in satin weave.
