Second lecture in Alan S. Cole's Society of Arts series on Egyptian tapestry, reprinted in The Textile Mercury (Oct. 12 and 19, 1889). It examines the tunics and garment fragments found at Akhmim, comparing their shapes with Egyptian, Assyrian, Hebrew, Roman and Peruvian tunics. It discusses the three decorative types (clavi bands, tabulae adjunctae squares, and roundels), dates them by comparison with catacomb paintings, a silver disc of Theodosius and the Ravenna mosaic of Theodora, and concludes that the ornaments were mostly tapestry-woven. Illustrated with line diagrams, photographs and engravings.
