Catalogue of textiles from burying-grounds in Egypt
A 1920 London catalogue of textile fragments from Egyptian burial grounds, compiled by A. F. Kendrick for the Victoria and Albert Museum's Department of Textiles, and presented as a record of museum study pieces. The fragments are black-and-white photographs of woven and tapestry-like cloth with framed roundels, scrolling vine borders and rows of animal and figure medallions, offering a designer ready-made repeat patterns, medallion layouts and border strips drawn from late antique and early medieval Egyptian weaving.
