Colgadura de tienda

ca. 1635
Not on view
Las espléndidas tiendas que servían de alojamiento temporal a los emperadores mogoles en sus viajes oficiales o excursiones de placer estaban adornadas con hermosos textiles. Esta colgadura, procedente del interior de una tienda, sugiere el ambiente colorido de los campamentos imperiales. En los bordes estrechos aparece un diseño de flores y hojas pintado en oro, y el borde principal más ancho está decorado con plantas de amapola alternando con árboles en miniatura y hojas estilizadas. El fondo de terciopelo se ornamenta con pan de oro brillante que se aplica sobre algunas partes del diseño previamente cubiertas con una sustancia adhesiva, y luego se pule para adherirlo a la superficie. Durante el reinado de Shah Jahan (1627–1658), época en la que se hizo esta colgadura, el «estilo floral» era muy popular en todas las artes plásticas, desde la arquitectura hasta los textiles.
