Fragment with an Arch and a Gemmed Cross 5th-6th century Byzantine This vibrantly colored fragment of a hanging is a rare example of the survival of an Egyptian textile that may have been part of the furnishings of a Christian site. It is one of two similar fragments given to the Museum by Nanette B. Kelekian. Each is decorated with an arch enclosing an elaborately jeweled form of the Christian cross. No other works of the type are known to have survived. The pieces were probably once part of one large hanging embellished with a series of arches supported by columns. One capital, adorned with grape clusters, and a portion of a column remain on the right edge of this fragment. The cross under the arch has been combined with the Greek letter chi (X) to from a variant on the Christogram widely used by the early church as an abbreviation for the name of Christ.The patterns on the textile replicate those found on contemporary Egyptian stone carvings, which would have been painted in similar

Poncho or Tunic Nasca. Poncho or Tunic, 100-200 C.E. Camelid fiber, 74 7/16 x 27 9/16 in. (189.1 x 70 cm). This large panel is the most elaborate example of the discontinuous warp and weft technique in the Museums collection. With this technique, the warps and wefts on the textile change with every color and weaving session, rather than being continuous along the length and width of the fabric (see diagram). The bold designs on the red background include three large, colorful supernatural beings connected to several smaller figures. The largest figure wears a green and yellow feline pelt and is associated with two mythological animals devouring humans: an anthropomorphic bird and a shark depicted with a human arm. These composite beings combine animals of the natural world with Nasca supernatural deities who keep the world in order. The panel was converted into a poncho in antiquity, when a head opening was made at the center and long tassels were added at the shoulders. ___________
