Beautiful, Unique, Artwork, And The High Fashion Of Ancient Egypt!
In ancient Egypt, looking fashionable was an important part of everyday life.
One of the high-class fashions was the Bead-Net dress, these precious garments are extremely rare, as only 20 of them are known at present moment.
They are kept in various museums around the world. I recently had the opportunity to travel to Boston, where I was able to enjoy visiting this amazing museum. At the museum, this dress caught my eye! This photo shows the remnants of the beadnet dress as it was found on a mummy in a tomb at Giza on March 30, 1927, by the Harvard Expedition .
I love history! It was amazing to learn about the Egyptian, Dynasty 4, The Rein of King Khufu, 2551-2528 BC.
This design is believed to represent beadwork, which was sewn either onto a linen dress or worked into a separate net worn over the linen. This decadent dress is the earliest surviving example of such a garment.
It has been painstakingly reassembled from approximately seven thousand beads found in an undisturbed burial of a female contemporary of King Khufu.
Although the string had disintegrated, a few beads still laid in their original pattern on and around the mummy. This enabled historians to create an accurate reconstruction.
The color of the beads has faded, but the beadnet dress was originally blue and blue-green in imitation of lapis lazuli and turquoise color.
These priceless, ancient garments are extremely rare, and unique as only twenty of them are known at the present moment.
They are kept in various museums around the world.
I hope you enjoyed learning about some of the rich histories of our ancestors!

Beautiful dress. One of my favorite things in history is seeing truly timeless items. Like this dress. It is as stunning and modern today as when it was made thousands of years ago.
