Description: "Admiral" Heraldic Carpet. It was probably made for the founder of the royal house of Castile, Fadrique Enríquez, who held the titles of Lord of Medina and Admiral of Castile and was the grandfather of King Ferdinand of Spain. His coat of arms—an upright lion beneath two triple-towered castles bordered by anchors and ropes—is repeated three times in the center field. A decorative pattern in the main border at each end, formed by designs that resemble Arabic script, indicates its Mudéjar workmanship. Wool, 568.7 x 475 cm. Spain, c. 1429-1473. The Joseph Lees Williams Memorial Collection, 1955. Philadelphia Museum of Art 1955-65-21
