Clothing & Accessories The Metropolitan Museum of Art | Egyptian Swirled Glass Unisex Oblong Jacquard Scarf

A Stylish Art Scarf Inspired By The Met Collection.

The Bold Design On This Scarf Is A Contemporary Interpretation Of The Motif Decorating An Ancient Glass Bottle Fragment (Ca. 1427–1400 B.C.) In The Met’S Egyptian Art Galleries. With Its Camouflage-Like Pattern And Eye-Catching Blue Rim—Translated Onto The Scarf’S Fringed Edges—This Striking Artifact Dates To The Reign Of Amenhotep Ii In Dynasty 18. During The Reign Of His Father, Thutmose Iii, Glass Objects Were Imported From The Near East. But As Egyptian Craftsmen Had Over A Millennium Of Experience Producing Faience (A Ceramic Material), They Swiftly Mastered The Similar Art Of Glassmaking, Which Reached A High Level Of Virtuosity By Late Dynasty 18.
