This volume is about tablet-woven bands from Egypt, mainly dating to the early Byzantine era - better known as Coptic era (around 395-642 AD). It covers 62 'Coptic' bands tracked down from museums all over the world, including New Zealand. It features detailed photographs of the original bands as well as their reconstructions.
The book honors the craft of the Egyptian tablet weavers by examing these fascinating bands, attemting to come as close as possible to the original finds with the versions the author wove and documented in the pattern drafts.
The focus in on making these beautiful, often very brightly colored bands accessible to today's tablet weaving community, hopefully inspiring contemporary weavers to reweave these treasures from the past, thus bringung them back to life.
