“Silver for Clothing …": Textiles and Diplomacy in the Late Bronze Age Near East
Original language description
The chapter analyses the role of garment and textile gifts in diplomatic exchange in the eastern Mediterranean based on correspondence and documents from the Late Bronze Age, focusing on the Amarna letters and sources from the Ramesside period, observing that although Near Eastern kings never required garments and textiles, they were sent by Egyptian ruers as part of bride-wealth inventories and were highly valued by the rulers of Alashiya and Arzawa. Egyptian vassals were allowed to use textiles as a form of payment in addition to silver. New Kingdom Egyptians seemingly did not value Near Eastern textiles, although they participated in diplomatic exchanges involving these products with the Aegean region.
