拍品专文

Confronted animals often appear in the decorative medallions on Sogdian samite textiles such as this, many of which were intended to be part of robes. The curling tail feathers on this example are similar to those which appear on a silk fragment sold Sotheby's Paris, 14 June 2024, lot 200. Like ours, on that fragment the two birds were positioned on top of a scrolling tree within an intricate border.
