Continuation of Alan S. Cole's Society of Arts lecture on Egyptian tapestry, published in The Textile Mercury, 19 Oct. 1889. It discusses Akhmim tunic bands, panels and cloths woven in purple wool and flax, and traces their Roman, Persian, Sassanian, Greek and Byzantine parallels in mosaics, sculpture, metalwork and ivories. Subjects covered include Hermes, horsemen, birds, lion-slaying scenes, animal bands and a winged angel. The scan also includes the preceding trade news and two short miscellaneous items.
