EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of tissue, crafted with exquisite skill and artistry during the 12th-13th centuries. Made from luxurious silk and linen, this fabric bears an intricate design featuring majestic eagles drawn in stunning detail. The creation process involved the use of a smooth pedal loom, highlighting the advanced weaving techniques employed by Hispano-Arab artisans. Originating from San Vicenc de Roda de Ribagorca in Spain's Catalonia region, this fragment is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Islamic art prevalent during that era. Its horizontal composition allows for a comprehensive view of its vibrant colors and decorative elements. Preserved within the Episcopal Museum, this fabric fragment offers us a glimpse into the fashion trends and textile craftsmanship of Spanish Arab communities at that time. It serves as a reminder of their mastery in blending different cultures to create unique artistic expressions. Photographed by Santiago Ortega with meticulous attention to detail, this image captures not only the beauty but also the historical significance encapsulated within this small yet significant artifact. As we admire its delicate threads woven together on ancient pedals, we are transported back in time to appreciate both the technical prowess and creative brilliance behind its creation.
