Tenda pendurada

Índia

Not on view

As tendas esplêndidas que serviam de alojamento temporário aos imperadores mongóis em suas viagens oficiais ou excursões de lazer eram adornadas com tecidos bonitos. Este painel, procedente do interior de uma tenda, sugere o ambiente colorido dos acampamentos imperiais. Nas bordas estreitas aparece um desenho com flores e folhas pintadas a ouro e a borda principal mais larga está decorada com plantas de papoula alternando com árvores em miniatura e folhas estilizadas. O fundo de veludo é ornamentado com folha de ouro brilhante aplicada sobre as partes do desenho, anteriormente cobertas com uma substância adesiva e logo polida para aderir à superfície. Durante o reinado de Shah Jahan (1627–1658), época em que foi feito este painel, o “estilo floral” era muito popular em todas as artes plásticas, desde a arquitetura até os têxteis.
