Description
The excavations at Ismant el-Kharab have produced a vast array of textiles both from the settlement and the cemeteries. These comprise mostly scraps of plain linen of varying quality as well as some fragments of decorated fabric. Also, two intact garments have been recovered: a cloth hat (from Shrine II of the Temple of Tutu) and a child's tunic (from a tomb in the West Cemetery).
