For three minutes near the end, I will be presenting on my case study of the fringed nalbound sock in their collection. Maria Joanna Mossakowska, that will be opening at the National Museum of Denmark end of this month. This week’s is the pre-opening of the “Archaeological puzzles in a museum” online exhibition, presented by Dr. On Wednesday, 15 March 2023, from 15:15-16:00 Copenhagen time (10:15-11:00 am EDT), the Centre for Textile Research will be hosting their bi-weekly lecture in person and on Zoom. After some delays, the online exhibition that I referenced in my post on the Reconstructing Textiles and their history workshop last May is happening. I’m really looking forward to being able to share this with you all. Fingers crossed that we will be able to continue research on this collection. The project included analyses of textile fibers, weaving and looping techniques, as well as complete photography of the entire collection. The online exhibition is the result of the RECONTEXT research project entitled “Reconstructing the history of Egyptian textiles from the 1st Millennium AD at the National Museum of Denmark” which involved research carried out by historians, art historians, archaeologists and ancient fabric conservators.
The exhibition has twelve downloadable PDFs that include the Introduction, a Catalog of 30 fabrics from the collection, and eight Case Studies that go deeper into a variety of topics. More in depth information and the current status of my research on this sock was presented in “A fringe study in footwear: lessons learned from a sock in a box” at the Reconstructing Textiles and Their History: Egyptian Fabrics from the 1st Millennium AD online workshop that occurred on March 26th, 2022. Initial results of that examination were included in“Fringed and patterned: decorative elements in Romano-Coptic nalbound socks” presented at the Textiles from the Nile Valley study group conference on the 27th of October 2019.
This is the same sock I was honored to examine in 2019.

The case study includes some beautiful professional photographs of the sock! The sock is one of 112 textile fragments from Roman, Byzantine, and Early Medieval Arab Egypt currently in the National Museum of Denmark. I contributed Case study 8, and a bit for the catalog, on the fringed nalbound sock in their collection. I’m excited to announce the “Archaeological Puzzles in a Museum” online exhibition at the National Museum of Denmark is now online!
