The concluding part of Alan S. Cole's second Society of Arts lecture on Egyptian (Coptic) tapestry, printed in The Textile Mercury of 26 October 1889. It discusses tapestry-woven cuff and tunic bands from Akhmim, from vine-scroll and ivy patterns to barbaric Christian figure subjects, circular panels and medallion patterns. Cole relates the designs to Greco-Roman, Persian, Syrian and Byzantine sources and dates them from the 2nd to the 10th century A.D. Two figures of Akhmim bands are included.
