EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Looped Roundel from a Blanket or Cover, dating back to the 300s-400s. Created by the Byzantine School, this tapestry weave with supplementary weft wrapping is made of un-dyed linen and dyed wool. The artwork, measuring approximately 49.50 cm in height and 55.25 cm in width, is currently housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. Linen cloth has been used as blankets and covers since ancient Egyptian times for its warmth-enhancing properties. This particular fragment features monochrome decoration that was added during the 4th century, followed by polychrome designs. The looped roundel formed with deep purple wool and natural linen not only provided protection but also added an exquisite touch to the cloth's overall appearance. The Gift of George D. Pratt to the museum allows us to appreciate this remarkable artifact today. Its intricate pattern and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any collection focused on antiquities or textiles. Through this photograph captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, viewers can marvel at the craftsmanship of ancient civilizations while contemplating how such delicate pieces have managed to survive through centuries of human history.
