An appreciation of ethnic jewellery and adornment
Add a Comment
Have always wondered whether the Romans had embroidery on their toga(s).............and if so what they would have looked like (apart from the well known red band, signs of class/social status.). Difficult to detect embroidery on scuplture or mosaic representations.......Cant remember whether Pompei remaining paintings give any clue........Anyone has any idea?

Comment by ann on August 7, 2012 at 7:53 Of all the textiles in Alan Donovan's house, this is one of my favourites. It is exquisite.
I don't know the name of them and whether from Ghana or Nigeria?
