Tapete "Simonetti"

ca. 1500
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 459
Este tapete majestoso, chamado de “Simonetti” por causa de um de seus proprietários antigos, é um dos tapetes mamelucos mais famosos. Este exemplo de tamanho grande tem cinco desenhos de medalhões, diferente do padrão comum com um ou três, exibe uma gama de cores mais brilhantes e variadas. A aparência destes tapetes, provavelmente produzidos no Egito sob a dinastia mameluca, é de uma grande suntuosidade, apesar de sua tecelagem relativamente grossa e limitada gama de cores. O efeito geral é semelhante ao de um mosaico luminoso.
