WRAPPING -MUMMIES FROM V&A.

In 2007 I travelled to London for a textile conference and jacquard course with Vibeke Westby and Bhakti Ziek. During my stay I visited the Victoria and Albert Museum and I saw this beautiful exhibition of mummies from Egypt.

In this post I just want to show pictures of the amazing wrapping. The patterns are so beautiful. A lot of texture and almost like weaving.
