Context:
When this rug was discovered a few years ago, its unusual field design-rows of animals within animals-was otherwise known only in a rug depicted in a Sienese painting of about 1410. The assembled figures in 'The Marriage of the Virgin' stand on a rug with a field design, partially obscured, that was not comprehensible without the Museum's rug. The field design probably derives from medieval textiles patterned with single or paired animals in compartments.
