I saw this picture (a trophy from the Temple of Hadrian) on Travis' website and wondered why the fringing seemed to be twisted in opposite directions to its neighbour. I wondered how (if it were fabric fringe) it kept its shape and direction of 'twist'.
I think I have worked out how it was made! If the pteruges were not linen or fringed with wool, they have to be leather. With leather, just by making a few vertical cuts and slots, the fringe can be twisted to make the same shapes. I have made them on my pteruges...
What do you think Travis? Feasable attempt :?:
