DESCRIPTION

Brocade with Hares 13th to mid 14th Century China, Northern, Mongol period, 13th - mid-14th century Silk: tabby, brocaded; gold thread Overall: 26 x 42.8 cm (10 1/4 x 16 7/8 in.) Seventy-fifth anniversary gift of Lisbet Holmes 1991.113 DESCRIPTION The motif of the hare among bushes may relate to the hunting activities of the Khitan, the Jurchen, and the Mongols. Hare hunts are recorded in the Liaoshi (History of the Liao Dynasty) and were often reported by envoys returning to China from the northern states. The asymmetry of the image in this textile is characteristic of Jin brocades. However, the paired (instead of single) warps reveal the influence of craftsmen from the eastern Iranian world and therefore dates the textile to the Mongol period. CITATIONS Watt, James C.

MUGHAL IMAGES

The Mughal Images immediately took a much greater interest in realistic portraiture than was typical of Persian miniatures. Animals and plants were the main subject of many miniatures for albums and were more realistically depicted. To upload your images click here.
