This is the symbol for a hank of yarn with the addition of a pair of hands. Hence, it is an ideograph for the noun fibre use.

Comment:
Inscription H-144 is interesting because it uses the merism weapons (bowstrings) and fine hangings to indicate that hanks of silk had a wide range of uses. H-144 was a seal. Therefore, it suggests that some silk was shipped as hanks of raw silk, before being subject to further processing at its destination.
