500s 6th Century Byzantine Period Fragment Tunic Wool
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Byzantine period in Egypt, specifically dating back to the 6th century. The fragment tunic, meticulously crafted with compound tabby weaving technique using wool, is an exquisite representation of ancient textile artistry. Measuring at an overall size of 37.5 x 16.5 cm (14 3/4 x 6 1/2 in. ), this small yet significant piece offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of that era. Its intricate patterns and delicate details are evidence of the skilled craftsmanship employed by artisans during this time. The fragment itself raises questions about its original purpose - was it once part of a larger garment? Perhaps it adorned someone's attire as they walked through bustling streets or attended grand events in ancient Egypt. As we admire this snapshot from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness the fusion of Egyptian and Byzantine influences on fashion and design. It serves as a reminder that even fragments can hold immense historical value, providing us with valuable insights into past civilizations. Let us appreciate this extraordinary relic for its artistic beauty and cultural significance; may it continue to inspire curiosity and admiration for centuries to come.
