A Collection of African Red Slip Ware in the Náprstek Museum2017 •
A group of six specimens of Late Roman pottery from the region of North Africa forms part of collections of the Náprstek Museum. The group comprises of vessels from several different functional types, forming a representative sample of the pottery production of the region. The paper discusses the setting of the individual vessels in the North African ceramic production, their dating, and provenance.
A wide variety of leather objects or objects with leather parts have been discovered, including footwear, musical objects, loincloths as well as parts of furniture. The dating of these objects, mirroring the variety, ranges from Pharaonic to Ottoman. The present work describes these finds in detail, accompanied by colour photographs and drawings. The analysis includes the discussion of the provenance of the finds, the interpretation of the objects from a technological as well as typological point of view and dating.
Collecting Antiquities from the Middle Ages to the End of the Nineteenth Century: Proceedings of the International Conference Held on March 25-26, 2021 at the Wrocław University Institute of Art History
The Collection of Late Antique Textiles from Egypt Acquired in 1893 by the Archaeological Cabinet of the Jagiellonian University in the Context of the Early Interest in “Coptic” WeavingSince 1883, when Theodor Graf (1840–1903) exhibited in Vienna a collection of Late Antique textiles from Egypt, a new trend in collecting antiquities was born. In the next decades, thousands of such textiles got to museums and private collections throughout the world. Some treated them as curiosities, others as examples of ancient craft to serve educational purposes, still others valued them as objects that enriched the knowledge of the daily life and culture in the centuries of the transformation of the ancient civilization. One of the oldest collections of this kind in Poland is an assembly of 52 textiles acquired in 1893 by professor Józef Łepkowski (1826–1894) for the Archaeological Cabinet of the Jagiellonian University (currently the Jagiellonian University Museum). The paper presents the Archaeological Cabinet’s collection of textiles on a broader background of the 19th-century interest in this specific kind of objects.
The first part of this article is a very brief introduction to the collection of archaeological textiles from Egypt in the Museum of Cultures, Basel. The second part focuses on one of the highlights of the collection, a Late Antique tunic fragment with a rare allegorical scene in an architectural Framework.

This article reviews and analyses the use of African textiles in recent curatorial practices in Belgium from 2019 to 2021. We wish to emphasize the importance of the archival value of the textiles and to condemn museological prioritization of a transnational Eurocentric discourse at the expense of indigenous knowledge resources. Our premise is that handwoven textiles from Africa are a rich source of cultural, historical and spiritual knowledge and may be used as a sociological and anthropological template by which to understand Belgian citizens of African descent.

A corpus of Late Antique and Medieval Egyptian headwear was catalogued in 2012 for the Victoria and Albert Museum. The group presents a starting point from which to create a typology and study fabrics and decorative techniques from the period. Headwear styles of the past show continuity with modern styles and the artefacts under study reinforce this idea. This article suggests a typology and compares similar objects in literature and other collections.
