Description: | Coptic textile. 2 pieces labelled 'PXXIV/29 and '231/T' Both are c 40x40cm and have red, green and pink on linen.The fine network of threads skipping over several warps is called 'flying thread/shuttle technique' and was thought by Petrie to represent embriodery. Often the work is so fine that they may have been woven in by fingers (Erikson 1997, 79-82). (Erikson, M. 1997 'Textiles in Egypt 200-1500 AD in Swedish Collections' University of Gottenburg). | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Rights holder: | University of Swansea, Egypt Centre | Subjects: | [none] | Temporal: | 395 A.D.-641 A.D.
