The Coptic Textile with Figures of Heads (about 300–600 A.D.) from Egypt is a woven fabric made from linen and wool. It often shows rows or circles with simple images of human or mythological heads, which may have been used for decoration or protection. The bright colors and careful patterns show the skill of Coptic weavers. These textiles were used for clothing or home decorations and reflect everyday life and religious beliefs in early Christian Egypt.
