The word "tiraz" originally meant embroidery, especially a robe with embroidered bands with writing on them. It came to mean an inscription -- embroidered, woven, or painted. This webpage includes photos from an exhibit of medieval tiraz. http://www.lsa.umich.edu/kelsey/galleries/Exhibits/Big_Textile/Big_Textile/Tiraz_Other_Textiles.html Thu, 25 Mar 2004 19:26:31 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=3409 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=3409
