Black Silk Damask; figured with a tower surrounded by water, over which are two bridges; in the lower court are two men, each with an eagle perched upon his hand; from out the third story of the tower springs a tree, bearing artichoke floriations. Italian, 15th century. 11 inches by 8 inches.
Another piece of this identical damask occurs at [No. 8612], but there the design is by no means so clear as in the piece before us.
