Abstract

The Coptic period is considered one of the important eras in the history of Egypt because it is the main link between the Greek Roman and Islamic eras, it is a popular art that serves almost all categories from the emperor, through saints and monks up to the ordinary citizen. One of the most important things that the Coptic art period produced for us in Egypt are the wonderful artworks that are represented in wooden, metal, mural and other works, the most famous of which is the weaving known as the Coptic weaving. In all these arts, the Coptic artist used a large group of different decorations that bear a special symbolism, which the Coptic artist wanted to convey his concept and his special message through it to the general public. The ornamentations in Coptic Art divided into floral, geometric, writing, creatures ornamentations and others that will be discussed in detail.
