Fragment. Mid-16th century. Made in Turkey, probably Istanbul. Textile. The bold and forceful design of palmettes is softened by the graceful overlapping stem systems in the interstices. The palmettes, which form the heart of the ogival framework, are composed of three medallions: the innermost has a spiky outline with a tulip tree placed on a dotted ground, the middle one has a serrated edge anchoring an acanthus-type leaf facing the center, and the largest is decorated with palmette trees and a scalloped edge made of leaves. Silk, metal wrapped thread; lampas (kemha). Textile: H. 24 in (61 cm). W. 26 1/2 in (67.3 cm); Mount: H. 28 5/8 in (72.7 cm), W. 31 6/8 in (80.6 cm), D. 7/8 in (2.2 cm). Purchase, Joseph Pulitzer Bequest, 1952 (52.20.22).
