Textile with Tiny LeavesTabby with supplementary weft; silk and gold threadCentral Asia, late 1200s-mid-1300s, Mongol Period (1207-1368)The Cleveland Museum of Art, Dudley P. Allen Fund 1985.33(Cat. no. 38)The shimmering gold of the tiny scattered leaves in this silk perfectlysuited the taste of the Mongol court. Showing no Chinese or eastern Iranianinfluence, this type of pattern appears to have been indigenous to easternCentral Asia. The closest parallels to the tiny leaves densely strewnacross the surface are found among the silk tapestries of the Uyghurs (cat.no. 16).
