Slit-tapestry woven silk. Egyptian, Manshiya?, Fatimid, ca. AD1000-1200. Tiraz. The warp is black/dark blue with the geometric pattern in red on a yellow background. There are two geometric borders on each edge of the fragment and in the middle, patterns form a number of lines criss-crossing across the band. The piece is fragmented with much fraying. In the Abbasid period (AD750-1258) fabrics, called tiraz, were made in present day Iraq and Egypt. Text from the Koran was embroidered across the fabric with a line of geometric shapes above that were probably for decoration. The word came to mean honorific robes with woven or embroidered inscriptions. Text might also include information such as the name of the reigning caliph, place of production and date.
