Fiziksel açıklama
Dress or shawl fabric, silk 1/3 twill. Known as Hussein Kuli Khan: a note in the Registered Description says this type of fabric was manufactured for export to India where it was bought by rich Parsees. Displayed behind glass. Warp: Z-twisted black silk. Weft: Z-twisted dark green silk as the ground weft and red, white, green and orange silk as the pattern wefts. Black ground divided into an ogival lattice by pale scrolled stems which contain a fine floral pattern. The ogees enclose 2 motifs, one per band: a pair of outward curving botehs and a central blossom or a pair of inward facing birds either side of a straight boteh/cone. This fabric was brought to London in 1894 by the firm of Cardinals & Harper. See also: 639-1891
