Quote:Catalogue of Coptic textiles from burying-grounds in Egypt vol1 has references to Swastikas on clothing...
Thanks for that and the links, Ivor - you're a great help as always :-)
I had found vol 2 earlier, but not vol 1
I should have been clearer, sorry. What I meant was a single, central swastika as the dominating motif in an orbiculus. I am aware that there are tunics etc. with swastikas on their own as decoration. I don't know of a combination of swastika and orbiculi/clavi where the swastika is the central motif. I found one pic at the V&A where there are four in the corners surrounding the cnetral motif, but that's all so far (cf. http://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O264401/woven-linen/).
Cheers,
Martin
