WHEEL/PARA-MAMLUK ~4~

Seljuk stone architectural fragment, circa 12th century,  showing interlace geometry.

A carpet that is very similar to the Philadelphia rug in detail and color appears in at least two paintings by Sofonisba Anguissola, including "Portrait of the Artist with her Sisters Playing Chess", from 1555, shown above (Muzeum Narodowe, Poznan).
