H. Wade Rights: http://www.clemusart.com/museum/disclaim2.html Context: Silk weaving became an important industry in Italy during the 13th century. Initially, it was closely associated with Spanish silk weaving and designs were derived from Spanish models. Here, the Spanish influence is apparent in the paired eagles and gazelles flanking concentric bulb-palmettes-motifs that can be traced back to the 12th century Spanish silks. In Italy, this design was woven in many variations from about 1310 to the end AMICA ID: CMA_.1926.507 AMICA Library Year: 2001 Media Metadata Rights: Copyright, The Cleveland Museum of Art AMICA PUBLIC RIGHTS: a) Access to the materials is granted for personal and non-commercial use. b) A full educational license for non-commercial use is available from Cartography Associates at www.davidrumsey.com/amica/institution_subscribe.html c) Licensed users may continue their examination of additional materials provided by Cartography Associates, and d) commercial rights are available from the rights holder.
