Hellenistic Chiton edging question

[richard robinson]

There it is- Is there any evidence for an Alexander the Great period edging/ embroidery/ intrinsic weave pattern on a chiton??
Just starting this quest.
Any help appreciated
regards

You might get really dissappointed, but there is strong evidence that most chitons of that period were very plain, even stripeless. Chlamydes had a broad edge of different colour, like 10-15cm wide, but no embroidery is shown on them. You can call this "poor" or "modern art", your choice ;-)

Giannis I really appreciate getting a reply. I had kind of come to the same conclusion as I had ot found anything in art or costume books- but I am old enough to have learnt that there is always something I have missed or do not know about so i have put this query out jic...thanks again....
