Coptic Tapestries
The Copts were Christian descendants of the ancient Egyptians.
Coptic tapestries are believed to date from the 4th century AD.
The weavers of Coptic tapestries introduced the technique of allowing the weft to follow a curved line.
This was a unique development in adapting weaving technique to emphasise the design of the tapestry.
