Description
English: Date and Origin: newly attributed to early 15th c., Turkey[1].
Notes
  • Often called 'dragon carpets' or even ';Chinese-inspired phoenix-and-dragon' carpets, these rugs more likely had Christian symbolic and relic significance both in Armenia and in the West (see the dragon motifs on the facade of San Miniato al Monte in Florence, a church dedicated to an Armenian prince). This carpet was bought by Wilhelm von Bode, the fabled director of the Berlin museums, in 1886, where it "was said to come from a church in central Italy". Possibly this church was in Siena.
  • Very likely the carpet was considered to be a secondary relic, woven by Armenian Christians and brought by eastern refugees to Italy who were fleeing the Ottoman incursions in the East. It is similar to the carpet in Domenico di Bartolo's painting of the Marriage of the Foundlings of 1444 in the Scala Hospital, Siena.
