Part of a valance 18th century Greek, Ionian Islands or Epirus Epirus was an important textile production center in the Balkans. Commercial embroidery made there in great volume for distribution throughout much of the Ottoman empire represents a mainland tradition. But Epirus was also the source of domestic embroideries that are similar to Aegean work. This bolster cover from Epirus is closely related to Greek island embroideries. Featuring three groups of horsemen and attendants amid small-scale birds, animals, vases of flowers, and double-arched structures, the cover was part of the furnishings for a bed or sofa..

Textile Fragment 14th-15th century This silk textile fragment is divided into horizontal bands, decorated with interlaced knots, alternating blue-gray and red pyramidal merlons, horizontal stripes and an Arabic inscription in black Kufic lettering. Geometric patterns such as the ones in this fragment are found ornamenting a wide variety of media produced in Nasrid period (1232-1492) Spain, including tile work, woodwork, book binding, and painted stucco. Such colorful geometric designs also recall the famous wall patterns in the Alhambra palace in Granada. In both the plaster and tile work of the buildings in the palace, interlacery designs are closely related to this weaving. The inscription in Kufic reads: "wa al-i'zz a'-Qa'im" which is translated as "Glory to our Lord.". Textile Fragment 446213

Cuff Band with Bust of a Female late 7th-9th century The five-part design of this cuff band became popular in the sixth century and is found on garments of both silk and tapestry weave. At center the bust of a woman, probably a personification, fills a roundel; she wears a colorful, ornamented tunic. To either side a vine scroll with birds and gazelles fills the double registers. The border of the band is formed by a series of interlocking leaves, heavily outlined in black - a frequently occurring motif in early Islamic art. The juxtaposition of highly stylized vegetal forms (the leaf border and the vine scroll separating the double registers) and flattened, two-dimensional figures (the woman's upper body) with more rounded, naturalistic forms (her head and the surrounding animals) is characteristic of art produced from the sixth to the eighth century..

6 of Collars, from The Cloisters Playing Cards. Culture: South Netherlandish. Dimensions: 5 3/16 × 2 3/4 in. (13.2 × 7 cm). Date: ca. 1475-80.The Cloisters set of fifty-two cards constitutes the only known complete deck of illuminated ordinary playing cards (as opposed to tarot cards) from the fifteenth century. There are four suits, each consisting of a king, queen, knave, and ten pip cards. The suit symbols, based on equipment associated with the hunt, are hunting horns, dog collars, hound tethers, and game nooses. The value of the pip cards is indicated by appropriate repetitions of the suit symbol. The figures, which appear to be based on Franco-Flemish models, were drawn in a bold, free, and engaging, if somewhat unrefined, hand. Their exaggerated and sometimes anachronistic costumes suggest a lampoon of extravagant Burgundian court fashions. Although some period card games are named, it is not known how they were played. Almost all card games did, however, involve some form of g

Panel second half 8th century The most complete surviving example of its kind, this panel most likely comes from a side of a cenotaph. It shows clear similarities to the carved decoration of a group of panels found at the 'Ain alSira cemetery in Egypt. It incorporates decorative elements from both the Late Antique and Sasanian traditions. The geometric motifs derive directly from Roman mosaics, whereas the winglike designs in the arch spandrels are of Sasanian derivation.

Inlay fragment, rekhyt birds 100 BC-100 AD Ptolemaic Period-Roman Period Mosaic glass techniques allowed multiples of an image to be created: a figural or design composition was made by bundling colored glass canes, which were then drawn out into a long bar (10.130.2729, 17.194.2463) that was sectioned at right angles, probably by being struck with an appopriate tool, to produce small inlay tiles. Such elements could also be used side by side to create repeating patterns for long borders (26.7.1228). Here it looks as though mosaic tiles with rekhyt birds were created and refused into a larger composition with other elements that had already been preformed. Possibly the additional remelting led to some of the distortion one sees in the lines and patterns.. Inlay fragment, rekhyt birds. 100 BC-100 AD. Glass. Ptolemaic Period-Roman Period. From Egypt
