Pair of socks
The Romano-Egyptian socks were excavated from ancient Oxyrhynchus, a Greek colony on the Nile in central Egypt at the end of the 19th century. They use a technique called nålbinding which predates modern knitting. The socks were made with red wool and each sock has a divided big toe so as to be worn with sandals. The construction of these socks, which have a turned heel, began at the toe and finished at the ankle with added stitches in the front to form an under-flap, ending in a loop, for fastening or tying.
