Textiles Now On Display
Coptic textiles of Egypt are now on display in the "Weaving Art of the Egyptian Christians" exhibit at the Museum of Art.
The display, taken from the Thayer Collection of the museum, was planned by Miss Inge Newfield, new curator of textiles.
Most of the fabrics are third to eighth century A. D. ornaments from garments found in burial places in Egypt during the late 1800's.
Figure subjects, animals, birds, floral, and geometric designs are the chief decorative motifs. They are derived from Hellenistic, Oriental, and early Christian sources.
The textiles will be on display through December.

Everybody Wants The Same Thing. . .
... THEY ALL WANT THE BEST FOOD AT THE LOWEST PRICES.
A Student Union beef casserole is just one example of that kind of food. It's chock-full of tender beef, noodles cooked just right, and vegetables in rich beef gravy . . . then covered with a flaky, golden crust. It costs 30c . . . you can't beat it so why not try it?
