This #ShieldSunday we present this phenomenal Parthian shield found in Dura-Europos!
Made from sticks bound together with strips of leather in V-shape patterns, it dates to between the 4th century BCE and 3rd century CE.

Searching for the secret of 'ton-byan'... an exquisite type of fabric, production knowledge of which was lost in World War II. Fascinating. #Textile @UNESCOEU #textile_history #Japan #fabric @japanhouseldn @NHKWORLD_TV

No - I did not know soap nuts (Soh Pairah) are used to was eri silk fabric. Thanks @deptoftextiles for an interesting share. #silk
@silknow_eu @EuroWeb4 #Textile_history
The weavers of Ri-Bhoi practice this method of washing naturally dyed eri silk fabric with soap nuts because they are milder than soap preventing colour corrosion of the dyed fabric.
The nuts are crushed and tied into a small cotton bag, then dipped into the water to wash.

From @MariaJMelo1
Our research focuses on unravelling the poetry of human history, specifically the precious colours achieved by natural dyes used in the past & sources to extract them, like the parasitic insect known as Kerria lacca or Kermes vermilio. #EuroWeb #Textile_History
Eternal colours obtained from the eggs or the resin secreted by parasite insects
Creating exceptional reds and purples, natural dyes that were used to colour a fibre or to paint

Such a pity one cannot follow Nicole Brisch on twitter. Some academics doing very exciting works are not easy to promote or follow as they are only contactable on 'academic' sites. So many eager to learn more of their work. #Textile_History @PidaRipley @WAI_WomenAid
