Cloth of Gold: Displayed Falcons, mid 1200s. Creator: Unknown
Cloth of Gold: Displayed Falcons, mid 1200s. Mongol ceremonial robes, known as zhisun, were made from textiles woven with gold and silk of one colour. These were given by Mongol emperors to members of the court to be worn during festivals and on important occasions that usually included lavish banquets. Like the Winged Lions and Griffins (1989.50), the design of this silk is a uniquely Central Asian synthesis of eastern Iranian and Chinese elements. Motifs and technical details shared by the two silks, moreover, leave no doubt that they were produced in the same city
