Abstract

Tekstili Bliskog istoka činili su značajan dio kulture, ekonomije, ceremonija, ali i politike u islamskim kalifatima i Bizantskom Carstvu. Izmjenama vlasti i osvajanjima šire se stilovi i utjecaji, a mnogi motivi zadržavaju se stoljećima. Tekstili ovog područja često su bili izrazito luksuzni, protkani zlatom i obojeni skupocjenim bojama, naravno svila je bila najluksuzniji od materijala, ali redovito se koristio i lan, pamuk i vuna. Osobito važan motiv tekstila islamskih kalifata bilo je pismo koje u ranijim periodima ima puno veće značenje od pukog ukrasa. Srednjovjekovni tekstili Bliskog istoka ostvarili su utjecaj i na europsku modu i umjetnost što je osobito vidljivo u imitaciji arapskih natpisa.

Abstract (english)

The textiles of the Middle East formed a significant part of the culture, economy, ceremonies, and politics in the Islamic Caliphates and the Byzantine Empire. Changes of government and conquests helped spreading the styles and influences, and many motifs persisted for centuries. The textiles in question were often extremely luxurious, woven with gold and dyed with costly colours. Of materials, silk was the most precious, but linen, cotton and wool were also regularly used in luxury textiles. A particularly important motif in the art of the Islamic caliphates was inscription which in earlier periods had a much greater meaning than mere decoration. Such inscriptions can be found in the European art which indicates the amount of influence that the textiles had far away from the place of origin.
