ملاحظات	This textile was originally a superb quality silk, dating from the late 12th century. Although now very degraded, the pattern of elongated ogees with paired birds is part of a beautifully designed and executed pattern. There is some evidence that the gut or membrane strips were originally gilded, which would have produced a very high quality and showy textile. It is difficult to pinpoint the country of origin for this type of textile, as at this time the favoured designs were very similar over a large area, covering China in the east and Europe in the west. However, the animal substrate strips suggest a Chinese or Central Asian origin.

Tests 02/12/98: EDXRF (Energy Dispersant X-Ray Fluorescence) was used to determine the coating of the animal substrate woven into the textile. Test ONE was carried out in an area fairly near to the worst edge (for ease of handling). The results showed Lead, Tin and Iron to be present. Test TWO was carried out in a different area (still fairly close to Test ONE). This was carried out mainly to determine whether any gold was present. The result was the same as the first test. A test was carried out on the backboard, tissue and nylon net which has supported the textile in the previous two tests to determine whether there were any contaminants coming from these. Iron was present in these but not enough to rule out some Iron being present in the textile. Further tests could be carried out to determine whether there are any traces of gold elsewhere but as the textile is fairly uniformly degraded it is probably unlikely that anything else would show up. Lead with tin present is fairly normal but whether the tin was a coating on the lead this could not be determined. Silk (Textile) Animal Material Brocaded
