A RARE SILK SAMITE FRAGMENT WITH MEDALLIONS AND MYTHICAL BEAST

Central Asia, Sogdiana, 7th–8th c. 50.8 × 91.4 cm. Of irregular rectangular shape. Woven with large linked pearl-bordered medallions (lianzhuwen) framing a mythical winged, quadrupedal beast against a ground populated with flying birds and floral spandrel ornaments. The upper edge tailored with an armhole cut-out, forming part of a garment panel, likely from a tunic or robe. 中亞粟特,七至八世紀,50.8 × 91.4 釐米。 形制為不規則長方形。織大串聯聯珠紋圓環,環內飾帶翼四足瑞獸;地紋間佈飛鳥與角花裝飾。上緣裁有袖孔開口,為衣料殘片,應屬短袍或長袍之一部分。 來源:美國私人收藏,2001 年前入藏 邦瀚斯馬薩諸塞拍賣行 歐洲古董商流通。這件精美的紡織品殘片是中亞絲綢之路上著名的彩色絲綢薩米特(zandaniji)的典範之作。雖然它採用從中國進口的生絲製成,但其織造工藝卻十分精湛,出自7至8世紀粟特地區(Sogdiana)的作坊。其圖案中心是重複排列的珍珠邊圓形紋飾(lianzhuwen),這種源自薩珊波斯風格的紋飾在中亞和唐代中國廣為流傳。主圓形紋飾內部繪有一頭神獸——可能是風格化的西摩格(senmurv)或帶翼的貓科動物/獅鷲——周圍點綴著精緻的浮雕紋樣、花卉圖案以及在紋飾間隙中飛翔的鳥兒,更添幾分靈動之美。左上角的結構性鏤空設計展現了絲綢之路精英服飾的典型剪裁工藝,在中亞、西藏和唐朝的貴族階層中,珍貴的花紋絲綢被直接裁剪成型為長袍、束腰外衣或長袍。 druck bild
