More great stuff Pete. No, there was no catalog number. The picture was small but I'll try to zoom, scan and post.
Sounds like the Metropolitan Museum has a huge collection. Any luck getting access to the collection in Chicago?
BTW: Asadullah the bladesmith was from Ispahan, where they made carpets reproducing the Wootz blade patterns
