SASSANID CHARACTER BIZANTINE TEXTILE WITH WINGED LION MOTIF – 7^TH CENTURY– MUSEO NAZIONALE, FLORENCE

Zoomorphic motifs are characteristic of Sassanid textiles: in this example the figures of rather stylised roaring lions are inscribed on the oval frames that follow one after the other forming horizontal strips; floral motifs stand out between stripes.
