This majestic weaving, named for a former owner, is one of the most famous of all Mamluk carpets. It has five medallions instead of the more customary one or three and a slightly brighter, more varied palette than is usual for its type. Mamluk carpets are surprisingly rich in appearance considering the relatively coarse weave and limited color range. The overall effect is that of a shimmering mosaic.
