Period:Tang dynasty Production date:8thC(late)-9thC
Materials:silk, 絲綢 (Chinese),
Technique:woven, clamp resist-dyed, 織造 (Chinese), 夾纈 (Chinese),
Dimensions:Length: 16.50 centimetres Width: 9.20 centimetres
Description:
The clamp-resist dyed pattern on the buff-coloured silk consists of interlocking rosettes, each with four petals and four leaves in blue and red, and repeats 3 cm in the warp direction and 3.5 cm in the weft direction. In the dyeing process of these textiles, two sets of patterned blocks were used, as described in the introduction of this section, however, some of the green leaves have been dyed twice, with painted yellow on dyed blue, just as the purplish brown areas have been dyed both scarlet and blue. Four pieces of the same textiles are preserved, two in the British Museum, and two in V&A LOAN:STEIN.591 and 298. Weave structures: Warp: silk, untwisted, single, 38 ends/cm; Weft: silk, untwisted, 38 lats/cm. Weave structure: 1/1 plain weave. 圖案爲排列緊密的四瓣朵花及其相連的葉子，經向循環3cm，緯向循環3.5cm。夾纈染色包括兩種基本色彩，一是橙色用於染花，二是藍色用於染葉，花葉之間空隙處的棕色由紅、藍兩色叠加而成，而部分葉子的綠色則是在藍色葉子上加塗一層黃色而成。MAS.878b殘片上，部分圖案因織物被折叠染色而缺略，正是夾纈圖案的軸對稱處。 同類的夾纈作品在敦煌藏經洞共出有四片。此2片現藏大英博物館，另2片現藏V&A博物館。其中一片（LOAN:STEIN.591）織物上用紅色的絲線縫著一片帶有幅邊的黃色絹類織物。另一片（LOAN:STEIN.298）則與一片麻布織物縫在一起。 組織結構： 經線：絲，無撚，單根排列，38根/cm；緯線：絲，無撚，38根/cm；組織：1/1平紋。
