The linen fragment has two bands of printed floral decorations with animals interspersed, around which are three bands with Kufic inscriptions that invoke a blessing.
The upper band contains a rinceau, which is a scrolling plant pattern containing floral leaves which are repeated, and two eagles spreading their wings. One eagle is attacking a goose which gave its head to him and the other is attacking a gazelle.
The lower band depicts an eagle attacking a rabbit and a lion attacking a beast. The area between the two bands consists of blue and black floral decorations on a gilded background. |
