Notes
A piece of woven linen with a narrow silk pattern in pale yellow, gilt yellow, crimson and blue. The design consists of three bands one above the other, the upper and lower being identical in shape, and the design is divided into three sections with two bands of Naskh writing, colored red on a gilded ground, adjacent to a central gold-colored braided band whose main lines are in red with golden rabbit-like patterns in the center of each opening of the braid. Narrow pens with wavy decorations complete the model. The writing mentions: “…and Iqbal.” Between the two strips there is a painting with an intricate, interwoven linear design in gold and red, on which a rabbit pattern was used in gold on a red background.
