@QueensClassics @caitlinrgreen That is very beautiful.
@EquineAnn @caitlinrgreen Isn't it just. And so astonishing that something so fragile should have survived for a millennium and more...
@QueensClassics @caitlinrgreen Definitely. It's amazing the condition it's in after all that time. You'd have expected it to rot. Wouldn't U
@EquineAnn @caitlinrgreen Indeed. If only we had textiles from ancient Greece and Rome: women's work and very much valued!
.@QueensClassics @EquineAnn Got curious & found some poss ex: 5thC textile of Ariadne, Coptic https://m.flickr.com/#/photos/27305838@N04/6244054950/ …pic.twitter.com/QZg8I4MQFO
.@QueensClassics @EquineAnn This is apparently a detail of a 4th-6thC woollen hanging, Egypt: https://m.flickr.com/#/photos/27305838@N04/12430371144/ …pic.twitter.com/5poIpUZUit
.@QueensClassics @EquineAnn Final one--supposedly early 4thC or before textile, Coptic: https://m.flickr.com/#/photos/27305838@N04/6244007982/ …pic.twitter.com/ABhshFz9p4
A few more :) A 4thC textile, Coptic, showing birth of Aphrodite: https://m.flickr.com/#/photos/27305838@N04/6244039664/ … @QueensClassics @EquineAnnpic.twitter.com/B3Gcgjrdc3
@caitlinrgreen @QueensClassics Lovely sewing of the Goddess of love. I forget whether she was Greek or Roman.
