TEXTILES AND MISCELLANEOUS MATERIALS 311
the thongs of each pair, after being passed through each other, were turned in opposite
directions. These ends, half turned one way and half the other, were twisted together to
form the ring at the bottom. These were all on egg-shaped bottles and the bottom of the
bottle protruded beyond the base-ring of the net. (Pl. 66, 1, No. 3.)

(10) Miscellaneous leather
(a) A small bag, or possibly kilt, apparently woven of fine leather strings, was found
in the debris of K 1088 along with pieces of a sewn leather skirt and pieces of a leather
skirt with punctured pattern (Photo. A 2178, Pl. 66, 1, No. 12). It was so balled together
that it was difficult to make out the form and structure. The whole seemed to be a bag
made, to begin with, out of one piece of leather, probably sewn down the side. This was
cut by slashes parallel to the top to give the appearance of a series of horizontal strings.
These strings were then stayed by weaving in a series of vertical strings at intervals of 8
to 11 millimeters. These vertical strings probably hung below the lower edge, as a fringe
if the object was a skirt (rahatf or as a tassel if the object was a bag.
1. K 1088 :x.
(b) A coil of flat thong about 1.4 cm. wide was found in the debris of the badly plundered
grave K 1610. The coil, which measured 10 cm. in diameter, consisted of five turns of the
thong and was held together with a smaller thong tied round the turns of one side. The end
of the thong had two slits lengthwise of the thong, one near the end and the other further
away. The end of the thong was pulled through the second slit and then the long end of
the thong was pulled through the slit nearer the end. I am unable to suggest any special
purpose. (Pl. 66, 1, No. 13.)
2. K 1610: x.
(c) A piece of wood, perhaps the handle of some implement, was found wrapped with a
fragment of rawhide around which a rawhide thong was looped. The length of the whole
was 10.5 cm., the width, 3.5 cm. The broken ends of the thong were turned up.
3. K 1029 :x.
(d) Two fragments of thin hide were found in K 1623. One side had the hair left on, the
other was stained red.
(e) Rhinoceros in rawhide. The upper debris of K X B yielded a piece of rawhide
cleanly cut to the characteristic outline of the one-horned or black rhinoceros. The edges
were so well done that the figure could hardly have been used under an opening in leather
or cloth after the manner of the mica ornaments; and there were no holes for sewing to a
garment. Possibly this piece was inlaid in wood, being cemented fast in an incision with
the hair side up.

decay; Photo. A 2169, No. 1. (Pl. 60, 2, No. 1.)
