Art Institute of Chicago-(2)


We moved on to the next hall where the Islamic articrafts was on display--Ornaments, Temple Hangings, Rosewater Sprinkler, Embroidered Fabrics, Hand Mirror and Tiles. Most of the items were from Iran, Kazakhastan, Turkey and some from Mughal India too. Of all beautiful items the one which impressed me the most was the dress fabric embroidered with silk and cotton threads. The work is so fine and detailed that I wonder if women who did this work lost their eyesight in the process.
