I have been weaving since 1984. So from a weaver’s viewpoint, the cloth has some flaws. The same kind of flaws as one of my younger apprentices would make.
I would think it would have been woven by a younger, not so experienced person.
Beg to differ. It’s extremely fine linen of herringbone weave that would have been very, very expensive in its day. Damned fine cloth. It was purchased by the wealthiest man of the region at the time, Joseph of Arimathea, and donated (along with his own tomb) for Jesus’ burial.
