A fragment of woven, blue, silk damask. Egyptian, Mamluk ca. AD1250-1500. The piece is roughly cut in a rectangle. Length of 140mm and width of 85mm. Some holes. On one side the selvage has been hemmed over with rough whip stitches using a light brown thread. A geometric pattern using diamonds is just visible on some of the fragment.

Damask was produced in ancient China but took itâs name from Damascus, Syria, where it was produced for European export in the 12th century.
