Two-part note on the model of Egyptian textile work found in an XIth dynasty tomb at Thebes by Winlock and Burton. H. Ling Roth describes the model from photographs, comparing its flax preparation, spinning, warping and two horizontal looms with the XIIth dynasty wall drawing in the tomb of Tehuti-hetep. G. M. Crowfoot then compares the model with spinning, warp laying on pegs and horizontal two-beam looms she saw in the Sudan, and discusses the puzzling wooden implements beside the looms. Illustrated with the model, the wall drawing and diagrams of a Sudani warp and wooden implements.
