A silk head cap. Possible metal threads. Egyptian, ca. AD1250-1500. From a tomb. The cap has a band of pattern woven silk creating the head band (60mm high) and the same band runs across the top of the skull from one side to the other. The spaces on either side of the band (across the skull) are filled with semi-circular pieces of buff/gold damask. The main band is of a blue/gold silk thread with circular and floral designs. There is an Arabic inscription in gold on one side. Inscription looked at by Mr A R Gust in May 1903... "Glory to __ the King". The cap has some holes. The material that forms the bands is of possible Chinese origin. See similarity to Chinese brocade, Kendrick (1924), plate XXI. Possibly woven by Chinese craftsperson for Arabic use.
