APPLIQUÉ PANEL Cotton, mordant- and resist-dyed, appliquéd onto cotton ground and embroidered with silk Coromandel Coast, possibly for the Golconda court Appliqué fabric c. 1640-60 IS.16-1956 Given by N.H. Heeramaneck This panel was made up in Europe in the 18th century from pieces of a 17th-century chintz hanging. The figures in Iranian-style dress are of the type seen in chintzes made for the Golconda court, one of the Islamic kingdoms of the Deccan. The shape of the panel suggests that it was used in Europe to decorate the back of a day-bed. [0./08/2017]
