# Qanat

The design of this painted, printed and dyed cotton hanging is derived from the classic Mughal flowering tree set within an arch. However, its relatively late date, and the fact that it was produced in south-east India rather than a north Indian centre of Mughal culture, mean that the design has taken on a new form.
