Re: archaeological textiles display

[harby ezzeldeen <harbyezzeldeen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Christina

 First of all I have the pleasure e-mailing you from Athens , I read your e-mail , I have question what type of this textiles ( flat or three-dimensional ) ,  but generally for flat textiles is better for fragile textile display horizontally, or between 2 glass sheets to avoid effect of stitching or mechanical action by hand.

if you need any help, i am very happy to contact with you , and be one from your conservation team,

 accept my best wishes.
