Fiziksel açıklama
Long rectangular strip of silk tapestry, decorated with tall palmettes, lobed pear-shaped medallions with inscriptions in their borders, and lobed cartouches containing shorter, horizontal inscriptions. This strip of silk was used as the orphrey of an ecclesiastical vestment, and is of a type of Mamluk textile which was very popular in Spain in the later medieval period. They must have been imported from the eastern Mediterranean. The pear-shaped medallions are inscribed with the phrase ' 'izz li-mawlana al-malik', meaning 'glory to our lord the king'. The smaller medallions, which have eight lobes, are inscribed with the word 'al-Ashraf' (meaning 'Exalted'). This was one of the titles used by Sultan Qa'itbay (1468-1496), but that does not necessarily mean that this textile was therefore made during that Sultan's reign, since this title was used by Mamluk rulers since the mid 13th century.
