Description

Unique art jewelry inspired by The Met collection.

The colorful patterns punctuating these eye-catching earrings come from a magnificent 16th-century Kashan carpet in The Met's Islamic Art collection. Named after an Iranian city where silk carpets have long been produced, Kashan carpets with such a fine, entirely silk construction are rare and intricate creations; only about 20 are known to survive, and four are in the Museum's holdings. This particular example belongs to a small group of silk weavings with an exceptionally high knot density. Rows upon rows of small, hand-tied knots reveal spectacular patterns.
