Alfombra «Simonetti»

Egipto, probablemente El Cairo

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 459

Esta alfombra majestuosa, llamada «Simonetti» por el nombre de uno de sus propietarios, es una de las más famosas alfombras mamelucas. Es de tamaño mayor que otras de la misma tipología. Tiene cinco medallones en lugar de los habituales uno o tres, y los colores son más brillantes y variados. La apariencia de estas alfombras, al parecer producidas en Egipto bajo la dinastía mameluca, es de una gran suntuosidad a pesar de su factura relativamente burda y su limitada gama de colores. El efecto total es semejante al de un mosaico luminoso.
