拍品專文

The style of this fragment is similar to a burqa' in the collection of the Topkapi Museum, Istanbul, inscribed to Mehmed V and dated to AH 1327 / 1909-10 AD (Hülya Tezcan, Kutsal Mekânlarda Kutsanmiş Örtüler, Istanbul, 2017, no.46, p.240). Like our fragment, the Qur'anic inscription at the base of that textile includes the phrase sadaqa Allah al-Azim, which had not appeared on earlier textiles. Also similar in style to our example, and using a very similar border, is a Hizam panel sold in these Rooms, 25 October 2018, lot 265.
