Temple Graffiti: Objects and Architechture
Graffito T36. Object – Textile
There are seven images of what appear to be textiles or mats in the temple. Three of these are elaborate, with woven interiors and fringes at top and bottom. One attractive suggestion is that these might represent prayer mats, whether Islamic or otherwise. This example seems to show two textiles side by side and joined along the center edge. These are depicted with a three-dimensional perspective as if they formed the front and side of a box or palanquin.
