The exhibition ‘Wrapped in Splendour’ about magnificent vestments in Christian Nubia is running at the Bode Museum in Berlin until 12 April. The medieval Nubian empire with its wall paintings, on the basis of which the robes were reconstructed, was excavated by Polish archaeologists before the ruins were irrevocably destroyed by the Aswan Dam.
