Thanks Heather and all the rest who responded. I did get the pics and info from one or more of you and was able to share them with my class.

RE: [h-cost] ancient Egyptian garment
Perhaps you mean this one? the Textiles in the Petrie Museum Schools' Pack. http://www.petrie.ucl.ac.uk/Textiles%20in%20the%20Petrie%20Museum.doc The museums Teacher's Pack. http://www.petrie.ucl.ac.uk/arabic/Petrie_KS2_Packv_2.doc The Petrie Museum has a picture of the dress online. http://www.petrie.ucl.ac.uk/detail/details/index_no_login.php?objectid=UC17743accesscheck=%2Fdetail%2Fdetails%2Findex.php Here is a photo someone else took. Depending on the age of the class I don't nkow that I'd show the article. http://www.thekeep.org/~kunoichi/kunoichi/themestream/sexuality.html Another side view. http://www.ucl.ac.uk/FriendsofPetrie/pages/Projects.html A search on The Petrie Museum Bead Dress brings up quite a bit but I think the first one I list is perhaps the article you were thinking of. Regards, Anne Marie Decker I thought I had saved it but now I can't find the article someone posted about an ancient beaded Egyptian dress that was discovered some time ago. It included a photo of the garment. I wanted to show my class. Anyone have the link, if it still exists?

Re: [h-cost] ancient Egyptian garment
I found the on-line reference for the beaded dress at the Museum of fine arts in Boston: (or you can search by accession #: 27.1548.1 at http://www.mfa.org/collections/search_art.asp) http://www.mfa.org/collections/search_art.asp?recview=trueid=146531coll_keywords=bead+dresscoll_accession=coll_name=coll_artist=coll_place=coll_medium=coll_culture=egyptcoll_classification=coll_credit=coll_provenance=coll_location=coll_has_images=coll_on_view=coll_sort=2coll_sort_order=0coll_view=0coll_package=0coll_start=1 Their description follows. Katy Beadnet dress Egyptian, Old Kingdom, Dynasty 4, reign of Khufu, 2551–2528 B.C. Findspot: Giza, Egypt Length x width: 113 x 44 cm (44 1/2 x 17 5/16 in.) Faience Classification: Costumes On view in the: Egyptian Old Kingdom (Hetepheres) Gallery The main body of the dress consists of faience beads strung in a lozenge pattern. A line of dark blue cylinder beads marks the division between the skirt and the bodice. The halter-shaped bodice consists of alternating rows of cylinder beads and the lozenge pattern. Light and dark blue floral beads hang from the bottom edge of the garment. This portion of a bead net dress was reconstructed from approximately 7,000 beads found in an undisturbed burial (see photographs). Although their string had disintegrated, a few beads still lay in their original pattern. Such garments are frequently shown on painted statues or in tomb wall scenes (see drawing), but this is the earliest surviving actual example of such a garment. Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Harvard University—Boston Museum of Fine Arts Expedition, 1927 Accession number: 27.1548.1 Provenance/Ownership History: From Giza, tomb G 7440 Z. 1927: excavated by the Harvard University-Museum of Fine Arts Expedition; 1927: assigned to the MFA by the government of Egypt.

I made JPEGs of each page of the article, which had a number of color photographs. It was in KMT magazine, but I'm having trouble finding the volume or year. However, the title was An Ancient Egyptian Erotic Fashion: Fishnet Dresses. I can send you the JPEGs by private e-mail, if you like. -- Cathy Raymond [EMAIL PROTECTED] Passion is inversely proportional to the amount of real information available.-- Gregory Benford ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
