dress Tarkhan

 

Originally excavated by Egyptologist Flinders Petrie in 1913 from a First Dynasty tomb at Tarkhan (an Egyptian cemetery located 50km south of Cairo) this dress lay undiscovered with various other textiles until 1977, when the bundle was sent to London’s Victoria and Albert Museum for conservation work.
