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!
