Brocade with PhoenixesTabby, brocaded; silk and gold threadJin Dynasty (1115-1234)The Cleveland Museum of Art, Gift of The Textile Art Alliance 1994.27(Cat. no. 32)This elegant brocade of phoenixes, seen almost frontally, is woven withgold thread made from flat strips of gilded paper instead of the usualstrips of gilded parchment. This suggests that the textile was woven in thesouthern part of the Jin state that had been annexed from the Chinese.Although probably intended to serve as secular clothing, this textile endedup in a Buddhist institution. The end was folded and stamped in red inkwith a seated Buddha flanked by two Bodhisattvas (now faint and up-sidedown). Two Tibetan inscriptions were also stamped (translation: 'TheBhagavan, the Tathagata, theArhat, the completely perfect Buddha,' and'Salutations to Blo gnas.') Above, an isolated letter ka indicates that thetextile was used to cover the first volume of a set of books.
