Possibly just slightly post-Islamic, though the motif did not reach Arabs from Mars! It existed in Iran for centuries! From Iran or Iraq, "Samitum-woven textile with confronted birds in medallions, silk"

Note the motifs on these examples. These should not be called "Central Asian"... whatever that means!
At the very least, these should be called Iranian, or Sasanian-Sogdian

So what can you expect from this article? It fill a gap in the literature by sketching a narrative of RoC-#Iran relations between 1920 and 1949, by analyzing the factors behind #Sino-Iranian cooperation and competition in the #tea and #silk trades and at the League of Nations.
What did I find? Unofficial commercial interests, including Iranian merchants in Shanghai, played a large role in driving Sino-Iranian relations. Iranian companies were well established in China and Hong Kong, mostly shipping tea. See for example this advert in an expat paper.

As we proceed with our discussion on the representations of #soldiers in a variety of #media, specific to the #british army, #indiansepoys during the #worldwars @dStephenB unveils a set of #paintings and #posters this is part of our colab, a thrilling initiative by @MuseumBuddy
These are #handwoven #silk #saris made in #Murshidabad in #Bengal in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.Called ‘Baluchari’ sari as they were woven in the land near the river Bhagirathi which flows by Murshidabad. ‘Balu’ means ‘sand’ & ‘char’ means ‘bank’ in #bangla #language
If you look carefully at these saris, they depict #European #soldiers with their #armsandweapons in their #traditional #costume they definitely caught the fascination of the local #weavers yesterday we saw the soldiers on #femple #terracotta and now on #textiles @MuseumBuddy
