Sogdian Stags
Description
Animals were favored motifs in the Central Asian silk weaving culture. We can find various birds and mammals on Early Medieval silks. There are pheasants, boars, ibexes and mythological creatures like horses with wings, pseudo-senmurvs, king birds depicted on these textiles. Our current reconstruction is made after a fabulous silk, which has confronting stags in pearl roundels as main figures.
