Tablet Weaving Research

Indonesia

My first find is one of the most impressive pieces of tablet weaving I’ve ever seen - a completely two-sided belt from Indonesia. My thought is that the pasaka was used to weave the starting loop, then to separate the tablets into two layers which were woven independently in doubleface. The separate layers were joined at the selvedges.

Egypt

This one I'm not sure about, and I'd like some input. It looks like the band was woven around a right angle before being split into two strips. The find is from Antinoe, Egypt, and dates to the 7th century. The pictures are small enough that I have only the author's analysis that these are even tablet-woven. Comments?

Two fragments of the band:
