Notes	A Chinese-weave silk fabric with a satin ground and a flat-weft black dotted pattern. The yellow stripes on a red ground create an interlocking geometric design in which the octagon-pointed stars take the main place. Other colors such as pink, green and silvery blue were used to create contrast and focus. Textile pieces of this type were manufactured during the Nasrid period in southern Spain and North Africa, and continued to be appreciated in Europe long after the fall of the Nasrid state. This example hung behind a statue of the Virgin Mary in Florence, Italy, until the nineteenth century.
