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.

Silence
By Amy Wilson
Located in Red Bank, NJ
I am a multi-disciplinary artist who has professionally shown my work in dozens of galleries and museums since the late 1990s. But while my work can take many different forms, my practice is rooted in drawing. Whether I am working on the watercolor and acrylic pieces, or fiber-based pieces, every project and every idea begins with a drawing. Through that process I lay out my ideas, ask myself questions, experiment with different options, and try to resolve all the formal and conceptual issues I will attempt in my final piece.
The themes I have explored in my work from 1999 on, and even before then, have remained the same even though my style has shifted radically. I have been interested in exploring self-portraiture, personal narratives, femininity, politics, and the use of text in art. I have remained constant in my exploration of critical theory and art history, and drawn influence from artists as diverse as Joseph Beuys, Henry Darger, and Adrian Piper...
