Cloth of Gold: Displayed FalconsLampas; silk and gold threadCentral Asia, mid-1200sThe Cleveland Museum of Art, Edward L. Whittemore Fund 1996.297(Cat. no. 36)Mongol ceremonial robes, known as zhisun, were made from textiles wovenwith gold and silk of one color. These were given by Mongol emperors tomembers of the court to be worn during festivals and on important occasionsthat usually included lavish banquets.Like the Winged Lions and Griffins (cat. no. 35), the design of this silkis a uniquely CentralAsian synthesis of eastern Iranian and Chineseelements. Motifs and technical details shared by the two silks, moreover,leave no doubt that they were produced in the same city.
