It is 5.2 metres long and would have wrapped several times round the waist as part of the king’s military uniform.The design consists of stripes, zig-zags, dots and rows of ankh-signs in coloured linen. The band was probably woven on a simple loom, it has been estimated that it would have taken approximately three to four months to complete.{mosgoogle left 7887083644}This a wonder of archaeological preservation - the only other examples are from the tomb of Tutankhamun. The cartouche of King Rameses III and the 2nd year date of his reign were inscribed in ink at one end, but have now deteriorated.Presented to the museum in 1867 by Joseph Mayer (previously in the collection of Rev. Stobart). -- www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk
