Sash (Iran)
This is a Sash. It is dated 19th century and we acquired it in 1961. Its medium is silk, metal-wrapped silk and its technique is woven. It is a part of the Textiles department.
Symmetrical versions of the flowering plant motif were also common in paisley, with stems, buds, flowers, and leaves depicted growing in mirror image around a central stalk. This sash is woven with metal-wrapped threads, which, although tarnished now, would have cast the wearer in shimmering golden light when originally produced in the 19th century.
