Dirty, Creased and Wrinkled

The shroud is dirty, creased and wrinkled. It has been exposed to dust, moisture, smoke from fire and almost certainly candles and incense. It has been exposed to moisture and there are clear water stains in places. It has been folded different ways and rolled up for storage. Folding causes creases. It has been held aloft and probably hung in ways that over time cause stretching. The cloth was woven on a hand loom with handspun thread that is not perfectly uniform. All of this contributes to visual information.
