fallenangel4: Fragment from a Coptic Hanging. 5th century Egypt. This large rectangular textile incorporates both Roman and Christian imagery. Arcades containing hunters on horseback recall Roman sources, while the roundels with angels are clearly Christian. Similar imagery, such as the baskets of fruit, is found on the wall paintings of Umayyad desert palaces in Syria. Early textiles such as this, woven by Coptic Christians, have survived the centuries due to the dry climate and the Christian perpetuation of the Egyptian practice of burying the dead in garments sometimes shrouded in large cloth wrappings. Such textiles were woven in well-organized workshops that continued to function in the early Islamic period.

An Attractive Vintage Russian Art Nouveau (Russian Moderne) Men’s Ring

The gold ring is decorated in Art Nouveau taste with a cast stylized foliage. It features a cabochon-cut oval lapis lazuli in a six prong setting.

The ring was made between 1908 and 1917. It is marked with 56 zolotnik old Russian gold standard (14K). The assay mark is partially lost due to resizing of the ring.
