Clothing & Accessories The Metropolitan Museum of Art | Persian Pictorial Textile Oversize Oblong Scarf

This Striking Oversize Scarf Evokes A Spectacular Pictorial Carpet Made In 17Th-Century Iran And Housed At The Met. Featuring A European Pictorial Perspective And Border Compartments Inhabited By Figures In European-Style Dress, The Textile’S Composition Is Evidently Inspired By Contemporary Flemish Tapestries; However, The Technique And Execution Are Distinctly Of The Safavid Court. The Carpet’S Western Influence Indicates That It May Have Been Woven In Iran For Export Or, Perhaps, Intended As A Diplomatic Gift.
