Abstract
WEAVING IN ANCIENT EGYPT.—Mr. Winlock's discovery of a model weaving shop in the Xlth dynasty tomb of Mehenkwetre at Thebes has caused a fresh revival of interest in the subject of ancient Egyptian looms. Two articles in Ancient Egypt (Part iii., 1922) are devoted to branches of this subject. Mr. Winlock deals with heddle-jacks and Mr. A. C. Mace with loom weights in Egypt. Some interesting pictures from other tombs dealing with processes of weaving render it easy to follow the lucid descriptions in the text.
