2738

Crafted during the 13th century (approx. 1200–1300 CE), corresponding to the high medieval Seljuk and post-Seljuk period in the Islamic Near East.

Produced as an ultra-luxury courtly textile (tiraz or elite garment fabric) used for high-status clothing, ceremonial drapery, or royal hangings, serving simultaneously as a marker of immense wealth, political authority, and divine protection.
