Fiziksel açıklama
Fragment of a silk textile with a woven-in pattern in yellow against a faded bluish-green ground. The main feature is a composite beast facing right and set within a roundel with a pearl border. (The beast in the roundel to the left faced left, as can be seen from the fragment of its tail). At the four points where these roundels touch, there is a smaller roundel with a pearl border containing a crescent motif. A plant-based motif with eight extensions fills the interstices between the main roundels, but this is only partly visible in this cutting. The composite beast, which is often identified with the mythical bird of Iranian legend called the sÄnmurw or sÄ«murgh , has a peacock's tail, a dog's head and a lion's legs. The silk is a weft-faced compound twill. The main and binding warp are z-twist, while the weft has no discernible twist. There are several weaving mistakes (at least 8 points) where the warp has not lifted as the design required.
