Consulter la cote et le prix de Ancient Egypt, Late Period



Description : Ancient Egypt, Late Period, ca. 712 to 300 BCE. A very rare find, a small woven pouch made from rush or sedge that provides a good example of how Egyptians did their weaving. It was made using the twined technique, where two strands were intertwined between each warp. The author of the Satire of the Trades, a Middle Kingdom-era didactic text, does not paint a pleasant picture of the lives of Egyptian weavers: The weaver is in his workshop... with knees against his chest, he cannot breathe air. If he skips a day of weaving, he is beaten fifty strokes, he gives food to the doorkeeper, to let him see the light of day.
