Notes
The large piece of linen has two lines of pattern facing in opposite directions and woven with dark blue silk thread. The content of the text in Kufic script follows the specific form of the style fabrics, which convey good wishes to Caliph Nizar Abu al-Mansur, Imam al-Aziz, and says that the fabric was woven in the royal style workshop in Tunisia in the year 3(7)5.
