A similar one was found at a tomb at el Lisht. Cf. W. C. Hayes, The Scepter of Egypt, I, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1953, fig. 137; also E. Riefstahl, Ancient Egyptian Glass and Glazes in The Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn, 1968, no. 5 and catalogue note on p. 98. A later common version (4th-1st Century B.C.) of the petalled 'net' dress can be seen in lots 29 and 40 of this catalogue. Also, cf. Exhibition catalogue, Egypt's Golden Age: The Art of Living in the New Kingdom 1558-1085 B.C., no. 209 for a fragment of lace with network pattern and four-petalled flowers
