Probably produced further east in China.There is a note with the textile that reads: 'L.C.v.025'. It was dug up in Xinjiang by Aurel Stein in early 20th century. The site in question was Loulan.This fragment was given by Mortimer Wheeler the then director of the Archaeological Service of India between 1944-1947 to Robert Charleston officer in the British army in India and the future curator of glass at the V&A in London. The objects labeled L.C. were all found in the so-called Mesa L.C. - an elevation with ten 'mass-graves' which were given Roman numerals. Objects (including textiles) found in the graves are marked with L.C. then with these numerals and then the number of the find (with thanks to Svetlana Pankova).
