Period:Tang dynasty Production date:7thC(late)-8thC(early)
Materials:silk, 絲綢 (Chinese),
Technique:jin in twill, 斜紋經錦 (Chinese),
Subjects:bird,flower 鳥 (Chinese) 花 (Chinese)
Dimensions:Length: 6 centimetres Width: 21.20 centimetres
Description:
This fragment of warp-faced compound 2/1 twill, was originally used as a suspension loop for a banner. The pattern, on a dark blue ground, consists of rows of six-petalled rosettes similar to the rosettes in the jin silk fragment dating from the high Tang (early 8thC) found at Astana by Stein (Ast.x.1.06). The rosettes are interspersed with confronting flying birds, holding scrolled leaves in their beaks. A string of jewels hangs between them from their breasts. The pattern repeat is 7.3-7.7 cm in the warp direction. Patterns of birds holding flowers in a naturalistic style appeared late, but the popularity of warpfaced compound twill did not last for long, so this fragment can probably be dated towards the end of the high Tang. Weave structures: Warp: silk, untwisted, dark blue, white, orange, yellow, green and light green, 44 groups/cm; Inner weft: silk, untwisted, single, yellow, 12 lats/cm; Binding weft: silk, untwisted, single, yellow, 12 lats/cm. Weave structure: 2/1Z warp faced compound plain weave. 斜紋經錦殘片，曾用作幡首懸袢。以深藍色經線作地，白、橙、綠、黃、淺綠色經線分區顯花，織物兩側各有一排六瓣花卉紋樣，這種六瓣團花的造型與斯坦因在阿斯塔那找到的盛唐時期的團花經錦殘片極爲相似（Ast.x.1.06），但此件每朵花旁各有兩隻相向而飛的鳥，口銜葉蔓，胸部垂挂著瓔珞狀的裝飾品，圖案經向循環爲7.3-7.7cm，緯向不知。這種較爲寫實的鳥銜花枝圖案年代也不會很早，但斜紋經錦的技術又不會沿續很久，因此，此錦的年代仍有可能是在盛唐晚期。 組織結構： 經線：絲，無撚，深藍、白、橙、綠、黃、淺綠色，44套/cm；緯線：明緯：絲，無撚，單根排列，黃色，12根/cm；夾緯：絲，無撚，單根排列，黃色，12根/cm；組織：2/1Z向斜紋經重組織。
