Carpet from 17-century India found in Netherlands shipwreck
Fragments of a silk and wool carpet, believed to have been made in 17th-century India, have been discovered from a 400-year-old shipwreck near the Netherlands. Art historians studied the patterns and colours, concluding that the fabric was likely manufactured in Lahore, in present-day Pakistan. The shipwreck was found in the Wadden Sea, a heavily-trafficked area during the Dutch Golden Age.
