Fantastic Persian Embroidery Resource


While doing some medieval persian research, I ran across this fantastic site which has tons of documented pieces of real medieval embroidery.  I particularly love the colors of this piece.  Information on this wall hanging is as follows:
:Embroidered Hanging; Eastern Iran or Afghanistan, 14th century; Polychrome embroidery;
This photograph appeared in a note about a textile gallery exhibit posted at the website for HALI, a publication devoted to oriental carpets and textiles.:

Enjoy!
