Overview

The use of models and pattern sheets in Antiquity is still much discussed among scholars. While lost for other works of art, a considerable number of patterns painted on papyrus and used in textile workshops has been found in Egypt. The present provides a detailed study of these models with special focus on the common characteristics of the patterns as well as on workshop practices transferring the information on papyrus to woven textiles. In the second part the model sheets are compared with woven textiles. The publication is not restricted to textile specialists only but touches questions of archaeology, art history and economic history as well. German Text.
