Description
Gold thread forms the background of undecipherable texts and interlaced medallions in two tripartite bands woven with silk in slit-tapestry weave on a dark blue-green sharb linen ground. Sharb is a fine linen, which often formed the ground fabric for ṭirāz. Roosters, hens, and confronted chicks decorate the medallions.
