Within each teardrop-shaped pattern on this textile is a hunting scene: a small fierce falcon at the top dives for a swan (or wild goose) amid flowers at the bottom. The spring hunt for swans was an annual event for the Mongols, and for the Jin and Liao dynasties before them. Similar imagery of falcons and swans appears on jade ornaments of the Jin and Yuan dynasties.This piece was woven in the variant of the brocading technique first seen in textiles from a Jin-dynasty tomb of 1162.Free picture Swan Hunt integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
