Discover bright colors & intricate patterns made 1,000+ years ago by hand surviving until today, and hear cocurator Elizabeth Dospěl Williams discuss how historians can look to textiles to connect with people in the past through the incredibly intimate form of their dress.
Excavations in the 19th century unearthed scores of the ornate dress textiles that wrapped the people of medieval Egypt in their graves. ORNAMENT: FRAGMENTS OF BYZANTINE FASHION brings together complete tunics, parts of garments, and contemporary replicas of ancient dress to evoke the fashions of this lost world.
