. . . "APPLIQU\u00C9 PANEL\nCotton, mordant- and resist-dyed, appliqu\u00E9d onto cotton ground and embroidered with silk\nCoromandel Coast, possibly for the Golconda court\nAppliqu\u00E9 fabric\nc. 1640-60\nIS.16-1956\nGiven by N.H. Heeramaneck\nThis 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]"@en .
