Description
These fragments from a caftan feature large-scale flattened octagons with pearled borders that contain a royal hunting scene: a king mounted on a running horse draws his bow at a rampant lion. Two dogs with their tongues out also run toward the lion. The star-shaped interspaces are filled with four radiating palmettes.
