Item Details
Description
Late 19th century, 202 x 149 cm, South Persia

This white-ground Kerman cover is embroidered in a design of large botehs arranged around a circular medallion with a star-shaped interior drawing. The style of drawing is strongly reminiscent of Indian Kashmir shawls. The question whether Persian textile artists were guided by Indian models, or vice versa, is a matter of controversial discussion in specialist publications. - The ground weave has become brittle in several places, which are torn.
