This object has been dated from the 7th-9th century. Due to the large number of similar silks that still survive in various colors and style, it is possible for art historians to trace the long popularity of this ancient iconography. This particular pattern for weaves was initially introduced to central Asia from China. This cultural interaction and exchange occurred on the silk road during the early 7th century.
