Context:
Elegant Arabic inscriptions had religious significance to viewers regardless of their ability to read the words. Here the text repeats, "Glory to our Lord, the Sultan." For Muslims, Arabic texts symbolized the divine revelation of the holy Koran to the Prophet Muhammad, whereas for Spanish Catholics it represented the Holy Land. In striped silks, inscriptions often alternate with interlacing bands and palmettes. Examples in Catholic church vestments, or ritual garments, include a cope worn by priests and a small cape made for a statue of the Virgin.
