Lot 1255
Coptic Textile Fragment with Dancing Figures. Coptic Egypt, c. 5th-6th century AD. Interesting woven panel having "Classical" figures within a colonnade. The figures alternate male and female, each in similar dancing pose, with florals and vines bordering each. Condition as illustrated - - there are lacunae, but cloth generally sound, but would be best to be mounted underneath glass. Size: 10-1/2" x 15". A large and visually playful piece, and more interesting than the usual Coptic fare.
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,200.
