EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable fragment from the Byzantine period in Egypt, specifically dating back to the 4th century. The artwork, known as "Fragment with Satyr and Maenad" is crafted using undyed linen and dyed wool materials. Its intricate design features a combination of plain weave ground with tapestry weave techniques. Measuring an impressive overall size of 139 x 86.4 cm (54 3/4 x 34 in. ), this piece has been carefully mounted on a larger frame measuring 153.6 x 100.4 x 3.9 cm (60 1/2 x 39 1/2 x 1 9/16 in. ). The composition depicts a satyr and maenad, two mythical figures often associated with revelry and wild behavior. The juxtaposition of the undyed linen against the vibrant hues of the dyed wool creates a visually striking contrast that adds depth to this ancient artwork. Every thread woven into this fabric tells a story, reflecting both the artistic skill and cultural significance of its time. Preserved through centuries, this fragment offers us a glimpse into the rich history of Egypt during the Byzantine era. It serves as a testament to human creativity and craftsmanship that transcends time itself.
