About the Item
Textile size 8.5 x 10 in.
Frame size 13.5 x 15 in.
This piece is an ancient Coptic Egyptian textile fragment, dating from the 3rd to 5th century CE. It is composed of a coarse, plain-weave linen material in a natural, light brown hue. A wide, horizonal patterned brocade in dark blue with pink red and gold accents lines the piece with a repeating pattern of geometric and stylized motifs. The textile's frayed and torn edges bear witness to its age, offering a glimpse into a time when such finely crafted textiles were used for clothing or as burial shrouds in the arid climate of Egypt, which helped to preserve them.
The fragment is handsomely farmed in a simple gold leaf frame, ready to hang. The piece is protected by glass.

This woolen fabric is woven in the traditional Coptic Kapati style, characteristic of Egypt during the Christian era. The name "Kapati" refers to the Copts of Egypt and describes a weaving technique that does not use embroidery or printing. It is said that Al-Muqawqis, the governor of Egypt, offered the Prophet garments made from Kapati fabric.
At the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris, the French archaeologist Albert Gayet showcased the results of his excavations from the winter of 1898-1899. Around one hundred Coptic textiles and fragments were displayed at the Palais du Costume. Their aesthetic generated considerable enthusiasm, particularly among artists like Auguste Rodin and Henri Matisse. This led to a "Coptomania," which, among other things, influenced fashion designers.
The square fragment features black decoration on a beige background; the two squares at the center are separated by scalloped edges, from which hang various ornaments or geometric motifs. At the center of the fragment is an image of a dancing figure surrounded by geometric decorations. This piece dates back to a time when ancient...
