  Two Tabulae with Birds
  Egypt
  ca. 300–700 CE
  Wool
  Jefferson University, T&CC 1978.19, T&CC 1978.20
  
  Although the depiction of a bird in each of these textiles
  is quite different, their similarities in color and external
  border design made students Alexandra Stern (HC ’20) and
  Miranda Johnson (HC ’19) wonder if they were cut from the
  same original textile. Both fragments come from Jefferson
  University’s Textiles and Costumes Collection, but limited
  documentation required further analysis to substantiate
  the connection. Stern and Johnson worked together to
  perform scientific analysis on these textiles over the course
  of the fall 2018 semester. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectra
  from both textiles showed high iron levels in the beige and
  purple decorative design, while the darker, orange borders
  showed high levels of bromine. Liquid-Chromatography-Mass
  Spectrometry (LC-MS) was also performed, and the spectra
  of the orange backgrounds displayed peaks corresponding
  to madder and weld dyes. Based on scientific tests such as
  these, Stern and Johnson were able to conclude that these
  textiles were likely “cut from the same cloth."
