5 CASE STUDY 3 WOOL FIBRES AND THE TREE OF JESSE TAPESTRY 

The accompanying superfrontal is a narrower piece (1995 mm wide and 163 mm high) with the legend PUER NATOS EST NOBIS ET FILIUS 

Finally, depending on the species from which the wool is taken, a medulla -a hollow, air-filled cavity - may be present at the centre of the fibre. This feature is generally found only in coarser fibres, and may take a number of different forms, ranging from a continuous unbroken channel (e.g. many sheep s wool fibres) to interrupted, lattice-like structures (e.g. rabbit fur).
