A 1917 article from the Bulletin of the Needle and Bobbin Club on decorative textiles from ancient and early Christian Egypt. It covers Coptic loom work from the cemeteries of Akhmim (Panopolis), tapestry-woven tunic ornaments, and two Metropolitan Museum pieces: a third-century Hellenistic tapestry panel with a Dionysiac scene, compared with a Roman terra-cotta bas-relief, and a sixth-to-eighth-century Coptic silk embroidery with Sassanian-style horsemen. Illustrated with two plates and a photograph of the embroidery fragment.
