This piece was probably used as a furnishing fabric. The flower forms reflect the saz (black pen) style that originated with black ink drawings and became particularly popular in the arts of Turkey and Iran in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Hallmarks of the saz style appearing in this work include large blossoms pointing alternately to the left and right, which seem to consist of several separate flower heads emerging in succession. Also characteristic are the stems that grow directly from the rocky base.
