A rich brocaded fabric mentioned by various mediaeval authors and household accounts. It was made chiefly in Bagdad and Nirsabur according to Ibn Batuta (1304-1378). Marco Polo (13th century) mentions Nassit and Nac as one of the silk cloths made at Bagdad, and says that the Tartars made a cloth called Nasgisi or Nakh, used principally for women's clothes. In Europe it was made at Lucca, Italy, as mentioned in 1350 by Etieune de le Fontaine.
