Central red indented octagon with a light blue border.  It contains a central dark red star in a yellow octagon surrounded by four dark red blossoms and two brown and two light blue ones.  The ground of the cover is black.  There is a pink ground cartouche along each side; it contains three angular light blue sections; the central one contains an orange cartouche with a blue S-shaped stem and two dark red blossoms; the other two contain a central red blossom between two stylised figures [see other items from group 1 to see the probably origin of this design].  In the lower left hand side one of these figures has been replaced by a leaf.  There is a white lozenge in each corner filled with a blue lozenge and small coloured motifs.  White and orange stylised blossoms surround the main motifs.\r\nEmbroidery threads: 2S silk; black, orange, pink, grey, light blue, brown, light brown, white, dark red, yellow, red, blue, light green/blue.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28674"},"note":""},{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"designed and made by","id":"x28674"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[],"techniques":[],"materialsAndTechniques":"cotton yarn, silk thread, weaving, embroidering.","categories":[{"text":"Textiles","id":"THES48885"}],"styles":[{"text":"caucasian","id":"AAT244536"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"MES","id":"THES48607"},"images":["2017JT7721","2017JT7720","2017KA7576"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"008","id":"THES306180"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Textile panel","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Iran","id":"x30220"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":"possibly"},{"place":{"text":"Azerbaijan","id":"x30028"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""},{"place":{"text":"Iran","id":"x30220"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1725-1775","earliest":"1725-01-01","latest":"1775-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Length","value":"80","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"72.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"label: remains of a white paper label glued in place; Arabic letters in ink."}],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Middle East, Textile; Panel, silk-embroidered cotton, design of lobed medallion and cartouches on black ground, with stylised face in the central medallion, Azerbaijan or NW Iran, 1725-1775","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"The design is a debased form of Group 1 sub-group 2 as defined by Jennifer Wearden in 'Azerbaijanian Embroideries: A Synthesis of Contrasts' in Hali Issue 59, October 1991 pp. 102-111 characterized by a central medallion but by cartouches; these are usually worked in cross stitch so technically this cover belongs to the surface darning group of the early to mid-18th century"}],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["46-1889"],"accessionNumberNum":"46","accessionNumberPrefix":"","accessionYear":1889,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2025-04-18","recordCreationDate":"2008-04-08","availableToBook":true}}
