{"product_id":"band-fragment-fine-art-print","title":"Band Fragment - Fine Art Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed reproduction of a medieval textile fragment featuring calligraphic bands and stylized animal motifs in muted ink tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis textile fragment provides a glimpse into the decorative traditions of the medieval Islamic world. The piece features a series of horizontal bands, each defined by precise ink lines that delineate geometric and zoomorphic motifs. The upper register contains calligraphic elements, while the lower sections incorporate stylized animal figures set within repeating frames. The composition relies on a modular structure, typical of silk weaving patterns intended for garments or ceremonial banners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ink work exhibits a high degree of control, with thin, deliberate lines that define the contours of the creatures and the surrounding borders. The natural degradation of the silk fabric, showing areas of loss and fraying, adds a physical dimension to the visual experience. The colour palette is restricted to muted earth tones, ochre, and faded browns, which have softened over the centuries. Such fragments are often recovered from archaeological sites in Central Asia or the Near East, where arid conditions have preserved the organic fibres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this design, the repetition of the motifs suggests a wider, continuous pattern that would have been visible on the original full-length textile. The inclusion of zoomorphic forms, such as the small figures depicted in the lower registers, reflects the artistic conventions of the period, where animal imagery was frequently integrated into decorative schemes. This print captures the aesthetic of early medieval textile production, focusing on the balance between calligraphic rhythm and figurative ornamentation. It is a study in the application of ink to fabric, demonstrating how artisans translated complex designs into wearable or functional art. The work remains a primary source for understanding the technical and stylistic priorities of textile workshops during this era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/window-screen-mashrabiya-fine-art-print\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eWindow Screen (Mashrabiya) - Fine Art Print — Unknown\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/untitled-horse-and-groom-fine-art-print\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eUntitled (Horse and Groom) - Fine Art Print — Solis Prints\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown Artist","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58975085068623,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58975182913871,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58975182946639,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58975182979407,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58975183012175,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58975183044943,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58975183077711,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58975183110479,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58975183143247,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58975183176015,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58975183208783,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58975183241551,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Band-Fragment_Poster_CompositorV1_1790866353772.jpg?v=1790866900","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/sv\/products\/band-fragment-fine-art-print","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
