Description
This fragment from a caftan features 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 towards the lion. The star-shaped interspaces are filled with four radiating palmettes.- ?-1982(Soleiman Amini, Paris, France, sold to the Cleveland Museum of Art)1982-The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH
