Antique Persian Yazd Silk Textile

An antique Persian Yazd Silk Textile. The scarlet field displays three cypresses, the central one larger and vertically striped, and the side trees are smaller and bird-topped. Two further bulbuls perch at the point of the central cypress and two additional lesser cypresses decorate the spandrels above the niche-shaped field. The bottom border is lacking, but the piece is inscribed. This type of silk ikat velvet is characteristic of Yazd in SE Persia.
