. English: One fascinating Persian Textile is the Shroud of Saint-Josse (English Joyce). It is a Persian Sasanian Silk Samite cloth dating to Circa 960. I get that date because the cloth is inscribed “blessing and happiness be upon Chief Abû Mansûr Bukhtekin, may Allah extend his years”. We know that Abû Mansûr Bukhtekin was a Turkish general aka Emir who was executed for rebellion in 961. Made circa 960 AD. Unknown Persian weaver 1096 Sasanian Silk Samite cloth Circa 960
