Period:Tang dynasty Production date:8thC-9thC(early)
Materials:silk, 絲綢 (Chinese),
Technique:samite, 斜紋緯錦 (Chinese),
Subjects:bird 鳥 (Chinese)
Dimensions:Length: 15.70 centimetres Width: 11.40 centimetres
Description:
This samite fragment shows a pair of confronting ducks enclosed within a roundel. The pattern is in yellow, white and green-blue; the ground is in pale red. The roundel is 10.8 cm wide and 11.4 cm high, resembling a floral wreath. The motifs are executed in a typical Sogdian samite style. No other textiles with a pattern similar to the flowers in the wreath are known. The closest examples are the clamp-resist dyed floral wreath with confronting geese (MAS.876 and MAS.877) and the clamp-resist dyed pattern of confronting deer (MAS.874 and MAS.875), found in Cave 17. Such pattern on clamp-resist dyed textiles have been excavated in Mochevaya, Russia, so it is possible that silks produced in Central Asia may have been influenced by Chinese silk art. Weave structures: Inner warp: silk, Z twisted, tripled, light brown, 60 ends/cm; Binding warp: silk, Z twisted, single, light brown, 20 ends/cm; Weft: silk, untwisted, white for the ground, green and light green for the pattern, 25 passes/cm. Weave structure: 1/2S weft faced compound twill. 斜紋緯錦殘片。以淡紅色緯線作地，其上以黃、白、綠、藍四色緯線起花，其中藍、綠兩色緯線分區顯花，織物面積較小，現僅存一團窠紋樣的局部，高約11.4cm，推測寬約10.8cm，團窠環以朵花紋樣裝飾，中心爲一對鴨，並無平臺可立，圈外賓花爲幾何形花卉狀，但已不清晰。從技術看，此錦無疑屬於典型的粟特織錦，但其團窠環上的朵花尚屬首次看到，與同出於敦煌藏經洞的團窠朵花對鹿夾纈絹（MAS.874、875）以及團窠花卉對雁夾纈絹（MAS.876、877）十分相似。位於俄羅斯北高加索地區莫謝瓦亞巴爾卡曾出土過來自中國的團窠夾纈，中亞絲織藝術因此而受到影響也是可能的。如此來看，此錦的年代很有可能在八世紀下半葉之後，即相當於中唐時期。 組織結構： 經線：明經：絲，Z撚，單根排列，淺棕色，20根/cm；夾經：絲，Z撚，三根排列，淺棕色，60根/cm；緯線：絲，無撚，淡紅、黃、白、綠、藍色，25副 /cm；組織：1/2S向斜紋緯重組織。
