Textile Fragment 11th century This linen tiraz textile is enlivened with vibrantly colored red, blue, and yellow animals and medallions. Unlike most tiraz, in which the primary decoration is an embroidered inscription, this textile depicts a hare and confronted peacocks. While the decorative motif refers to pre-Islamic Coptic and Sasanian textiles, the textiles late date of the eleventh century reflects a trend toward classical revival in Fatimid artistic production. The stylized kufic inscription is based on the Arabic word for God, "Allah.". Textile Fragment 448111

Hunters in a Landscape ca. 1575-95 Anonymous, 16th century This extremely rare hanging combines an exquisitely well-preserved palette with the distinctive long and narrow format of a wainscot tapestry. In a style referred to by Flemish weavers at the time as "English fashion", it was intended to hang between the cornice and the dado of a wood-paneled room. The tapestry is attributed on stylistic, iconographic and technical grounds to Flemish immigrant weavers who sought refuge from the religious tumult of the era by relocating to England, probably London. In excellent condition, it is a particularly engaging example of the output of this fascinating and only recently studied diaspora of weavers from Flanders. The tapestry is notable for its weavers' remarkable use of color in the construction of forms and effects of light and cast shadow. The idyllic landscape contrasts vistas of pastoral relaxation with a hunting scene, flanking a central moated building. Representative of the magpie

A well-dressed man and woman make music in a fanciful setting of a noble residence with a formal garden. Servants attend them, and animals including a pet monkey and a peacock are also prominent, evoking the wealth and taste for luxury of the group. The harmony of music can symbolize love and fidelity but the sounds and pleasures of music fade, as do fruit and flowers. The embroidery, which may be Spanish, once had a decorative border that probably included the clients coat of arms. Music was an important part of social life.
