N2 - This article focusses on a loincloth found in situ on the skeleton on an Early Medieval male buried on the Nubian island of Sai, in Northern Sudan, dated to the 7th-9th centuries C.E. This loincloth differs from most of the contemporary textile production, as it was woven into shape in a triangular form and was probably using threads made of dromedary wool. Exhibiting several phases of repair and reuse until its internment with the deceased, this garment illustrates the textile know-hows and clothing practices of the ancient Nubians, as well as the cultural role of textiles during the funerary body rituals.
