Brocade with HaresTabby, brocaded; silk and gold threadNorthern China, Mongol Period (1207-1368)The Cleveland Museum of Art, Seventy-fifth anniversary gift of LisbetHolmes 1991.113(Cat. no. 34)The motif of the hare among bushes may relate to the huntingactivities ofthe Khitan, the Jurchen, and the Mongols. Hare hunts are recorded in theLiaoshi (History of the Liao Dynasty) and were often reported by envoysreturning to China from the northern states.The asymmetry of the image in this textile is characteristic of Jinbrocades. However, the paired (instead of single) warps reveal theinfluence of craftsmen from the eastern Iranian world and therefore datesthe textile to the Mongol period.
