tejido copto

Segment from a dark dyed background linen textile decorated with a red scroll border and thick band, above a green background register with a polychrome motif of facing birds and flowers. This is from a group of Coptic textiles acquired at the Faiyum, forming an instructive group for regional comparison beside the fine set from Akhmim in Upper Egypt, acquired in 1888.
