Abstract

In recent years, the Suzhou Silk Museum has acquired a group of textiles dating from the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the early Tang period. Among these objects, several pieces exhibit relatively uncommon features in both decorative design and functional use. When compared with contemporaneous textiles, this group includes pieces that continue established stylistic traditions as well as distinctive individual examples. From the perspectives of weaving technology and stylistic characteristics, part of the assemblage can be associated with the Qinghai Path of the Silk Road, and therefore holds particular significance for the study of ancient textile weaving technique and pattern design.
