In the 15th century, under the direction of the astronomer and prince of Samarkand, Ulugh Beg, a masterpiece was created with the copying and illustration of Al-Sufi’s bravura work on the fixed stars, dating from the 10th century. The manuscript contains 74 constellations and mythical figures relating to the astronomers’ extraordinarily accurate description of their observations of the sky. The fine drawings, in which the stars are inset in gold, represent a fascinating artistic work that finds a modern projection surface on this shawl. Combine the beauty of medieval miniatures with silky comfort.
The silk scarf, 180cm x 43cm, nestles softly and is a real eye-catcher for any occasion.
