This colorful embroidered silk square features motifs and stylistic aspects typical of Central Asia and its neighbors and provides a textbook example of the eclecticism of Central Asian art. Its diverse elements include the idea of combining animals, birds, and a variety of flowers together, which is distinctive to eastern Central Asian art. The arrangement of the four animals on the sides of the square, however, recall bronze mirrors made in China during the Han dynasty (206 B.C.–A.D. 220). Yet the specific animals—a rabbit, two deer or antelope, and a spotted horse—are Central Asian. Revealing influences from western countries, the reclining deer, with a mushroom-shaped antler topped by a crescent, derives from Sogdian art.
