  1. Tela tejida en Egipto y descubierta en Antinoópolis. Perteneció a un pantalón y muestra el enfrentamiento en la primera invasión persa de la península arábiga, donde cayó el rey axumita Masrūq ibn Abraha. No tiene estilo egipcio porque es una copia de una tela sasánida que, a su vez, replica un fresco. 🏛️Museo Histórico de Tejidos de Lyon 📷Pierre Verrier #axum #aksum #persia
