Tiraz Fragment with Inscription, 9th century, Made in Egypt, Wool, linen; tapestry weave, Textile: H. 5 1/8 in. (13 cm), Textiles-Woven, This fragment was produced in a Tulunid workshop of the Nile Delta. Like Coptic textiles, it is tapestry woven. The play of light and shade and the contrast between the negative and positive spaces reflect the Abbasid Beveled style of carving architectural ornament, while the palette of undyed linen—olive green, brown, and blue—is characteristically Tulunid
