According to Hülya Tezcan, lampas bands of this design were used in the Topkapi Palace to run between larger textile hangings, such as curtains or sarcophagus covers (Sacred Covers of Islam's Holy Shrines, Istanbul, 2017, p.174, no.20). This fragment therefore includes the full width, and would have continued to repeat at both the upper and lower ends. The figures named on them are those who, according to tradition, would be immediately granted entry to Paradise on their death.
