Pedaço de tecido

ca. 1565–80
Not on view
Na Istambul do século XVI, as sedas espetaculares com grandes desenhos eram muito valorizadas para confeccionar vestuário de luxo entre a elite cortesã e os caftas ricamente coloridos dos sultões otomanos. Neste exemplo, o desenho vertical da folhagem que aparece no tecido é estilisticamente comparável ao dos azulejos de cerâmica que decoram os edifícios do período. Esse tipo de tecido, denominado kemha em turco, incorpora fio envolto com metal em lampas ou tecido com várias tramas. Os tecidos kemha otomanos normalmente combinam um fundo de cetim com um desenho tecido com ponto de sarja e destacado com ouro. Sob a luz do sol, seus desenhos brilhantes parecem flutuar acima de um fundo reluzente.
