Egyptian Beadnet Dress - a photo on Flickriver

            Taken in 2011.

From the MFA sign: "Depictions of women in Egyptian art occasionally feature garments decorated with an overall lozenge pattern. This design is believed to represent beadwork, which was either sewn onto a linen dress or worked into a separate net worn over the linen. This beadnet 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 [2551-2528 BC] ... The color of the beads has faded, but the beadnet was originally blue and blue-green in imitation of lapis lazuli and turquoise."

At the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
