Description

Egyptian Mounted Coptic Textile
Circa 7th-8th century A.D. Comprising a double band for sleeve (segmentum) with a band of warriors side by side, each holding a sword in their raised right hand and a globe in the left; geometric borders. Cf. Del Francia Barocas, L., Museo dell'Alto Medioevo, Roma, I materiali Copti, p.222-223, nos.63 A-B-C, for similar textile figures and warp. 122 grams, 51 x 23 cm (20 x 9 in.).

Acquired 1970s-1996. Property of a North American collector. London collection, 2016. Tapestry technique on linen and wool. It is highly probable that this tapestry was part of a tunic decoration, a clavus, a segment running vertically on the breast and on the back of it. [No Reserve]
