About this artwork
Two double rows of inscription run in the warp direction of the textile, the dark lettering oriented at right angles to the warp. In the center is a floral medallion with pendants. The design is woven in golden brown, gray brown, and dark blue-green (all now faded) against a dark golden tan ground. Both selvages are preserved.
