Egyptian Stockings Designs
By THL Lucia Thaylur

The designs of these pouches are based on 12rh. C. Egyptian stockings currently in the collection of the Textile Museum Washington, D.C. For a small fee, the Museum will sell a copy of "Patterned Stockings: Possibly Indian, Found in Egypt" by Museum Curator-Analyst, Louisa Bellinger. The article includes black and white photographs of three mostly intact stockings and three stocking fragments , as well as Bellinger’s graphs for several of the designs.
