Note: researchers may use the terms applique and tambour when searching for this category of textile even though they are incorrect. Displayed behind glass. Blue ground with a three-quarter length male figure in a red robe with an elaborate collar. He holds a rose in his right hand. Dressed in Qajar style with a white collar decorated with flowers and leaves and with decorative cuffs. He wears a belt which holds a sheathed dagger in place. There is a bracelet on his right wrist, over the cuff of the robe and a string of embroidered pearls round his neck. Embroidered pearls and coloured beads form large panels on both upper sleeves. He wears a jewelled crown on his head with three short feathers.
