EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fragment of an exquisite artwork from 1000-1100s Iraq, most likely created in Baghdad during the Seljuq period. The piece features a stunning depiction of peacocks surrounded by an intricate inscription. Measuring 31.5 x 40.5 cm, this fragment is crafted using a plain weave technique with silk warp and cotton weft (mulham). The embroidery work is truly remarkable, employing couched and split stitches made with silk, gilt, and silver thread. The vibrant colors and meticulous detailing make this artwork a true testament to the skill and creativity of its creator. The peacocks are rendered with such precision that their feathers seem to come alive on the fabric canvas. Meanwhile, the accompanying inscription adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the overall composition. This print allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance of this artifact. It serves as a reminder of Iraq's rich cultural heritage during this period when artistic expression flourished under Seljuq rule.
