I am trying to help my cousin get this textile identified. We don't know what it is, so we don't know where to start researching. She said its been in her family almost one hundred years. It is 4 x 4 feet square, beautiful hand sewn colored treads, and a language we did not recognized. We appreciate any help you can give. Thanks.
Possibly Spanish Moorish as looks similar to the one shown here https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/wall-decorations/tapestry/spanish-moorish-wall-hanging-tapestry-arabic-writing/id-f_16678901/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAoIPvBRDgARIsAHsCw0-_OnS3eUW1NquQlNMT5mAr0YTkAoKnZMdFk1Usi1psxCSz6FLaZ88aAjQeEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
Of course keep in mind this info is from a commercial site so can't speak to the accuracy. In any case, for what it's worth!
