拍品专文

A panel of this silk was obviously at one stage owned by Phyllis Ackerman and Arthur Upham Pope (where it is attributed to Yazd). A single element of the design is drawn out as a design in the text volume of A Survey of Persian Art, Oxford, 1938, p.2112, fig.619b. In the discussion Ackerman describes the technique, which is clearly the same as that found here, and tentatively attributes the cloth to the weaver Saliha.
