| Abstract | ||
| This article endeavors to examine two Coptic textile artifacts that are currently preserved at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Cairo (NMEC). The purpose of this study is to provide a novel publication on these artifacts. Both pieces have been meticulously examined, utilizing both magnifying lenses and microscopes. Wool and linen are the primary materials that were utilized in the weaving process of these two pieces, which were woven using distinct practical techniques. Notably, both pieces are adorned with intricate woven ornamentations, including a scene that depicts the life of King David. | ||
