SOME IMAGES FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT:

Greetings,

I am posting some Coptic and Andean images of the human form. They are most probably not “selfies,” and in the case of the Andean textiles, probably not even portraits. However, they do show some of the ways in which the human form has been represented within the language of tapestry weaving.—-Mary

 (These Coptic and Andean depictions of figures in tapestry technique are also found in ideas / discussions (blogs, “some images for your enjoyment”.)
