Part of a Hanging or Curtain

Not on view

A substantial body of textiles, of which some have only recently come to light, can be tentatively assigned to one of the imperial workshops established by the Mughal emperor Akbar (r. 1550–1605) during the late sixteenth century. Although similar in material, color, and structure, these textiles have highly varied patterns. This example has friezes of striding Rajput warriors and riders framed above and below by joined borders featuring lotus medallions.
