"TENT PANEL\nCotton, embroidered with silk floss and metal-wrapped thread\nMughal empire or Deccan\nc. 1700\n\nThis qanat or tent panel was once part of a matching set belonging to the Maharajas of Amer, Rajasthan. Together the set would have lined the walls of a palace or courtly tent. Professional embroiderers stitched the entire ground with silk thread wrapped in strips of gilded silver, a lengthy process repeated on each matching panel.\n [01/08/2017]"@en . . . .
