Description: Brocade woven in red and olive green silks and gold thread on a cream-coloured ground. Along the top is the Kufic inscription "Arrahman" several times repeated in olive green on a gold-thread ground. Pairs of seated animals, addorsed regardant and geese vis-a-vis are worked within the lozenge-shaped compartments of the trellis framework which regulates the pattern. Both animals and birds are separated by conventional trees and the latter are enclosed in inscriptions of Kufic characters.
