9. Investigating Safavid-Mughal Cultural Exchange through Luxury Silk Production in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries
This study examines the impact of immigrant artisans in Mughal India the early modern period, based on a series of narrative silk textiles used for apparel. Paintings provide clues to love scenes from Persian poetry woven into apparel textiles in the 16th-17th centuries. The poems represent Sufi allegories that would have resonated with Indian and Iranian patrons, but due to shared cultural elements, provenance and patronage are unclear.
