They are the most familiar to western Europeans as they have been imported from Turkey since at least the mid 15th century. Examples appear in Italian Renaissance paintings and are also depicted by north European artists such as Hans Holbein. Certain carpet designs became known in Europe by the names of the artists who painted them, including Holbein and Lorenzo Lotto.","physicalDescription":"Carpet fragments, hand-knotted woollen pile on woollen warp and weft; Turkish; 16th century.\r\nSmall pattern Holbein design.\r\nWarp: white wool; Z2S; 16 thread per inch/58-62 per dm\r\nWeft: red wool; Z-spun, unplied; 2 shoots after each row of knots; 9-11 shoots per inch/34-39 per dm.
