A short article reprinting an extract from the London Times of July 27, 1917, describing Chinese silk brocades, tapestry weaves and plain fabrics that Sir Aurel Stein excavated from grave pits at Loulan in Central Asia. It describes the burial context, the colours and animal and scroll designs of the brocades, the slit-joining technique in the tapestry fragments, and plain cloths such as fine jean, teazled flannel, felt and very fine silk. It is descriptive and has no weaving drafts.
