Where was this produced?
The textile is assumed to have been made between the 7th and 9th centuries, and from Constantinople, Egypt, or Syria. Depending on who was in control of the region, we may be able to localize where the textile was produced. From the 7th to 9th centuries, some important Eastern Mediterranean power shifts include the shift from the Byzantines to the Syrians at the years 634 to 644, the Syrians to the Iraqis at 750, and the Iraqis to the Egyptians at 868. Below is a map of these three locations.
These three places are thought to be where the textile is from because this textile is high-end and complicated, so the maker must have had access to complicated technology. This technology could only have been found at these three locations where the largest textile industries were at the time.
