Textile Fragment 14th-15th century This silk textile fragment is divided into horizontal bands, decorated with interlaced knots, alternating blue-gray and red pyramidal merlons, horizontal stripes and an Arabic inscription in black Kufic lettering. Geometric patterns such as the ones in this fragment are found ornamenting a wide variety of media produced in Nasrid period (1232-1492) Spain, including tile work, woodwork, book binding, and painted stucco. Such colorful geometric designs also recall the famous wall patterns in the Alhambra palace in Granada. In both the plaster and tile work of the buildings in the palace, interlacery designs are closely related to this weaving. The inscription in Kufic reads: "wa al-i'zz a'-Qa'im" which is translated as "Glory to our Lord.". Textile Fragment 446213
