Velvet Panel

Cleveland Museum of Art

The "Velvet Panel" by an unknown artist shows a rectangular piece of fabric with frayed edges. The fabric features a central section with a burnt orange background and a repeating pattern of 35 small, symmetrical designs in rows, each including a central blue dot surrounded by beige, black, and blue shapes. Above and below the central section are horizontal bands with a beige background and a repeating pattern of diamond shapes in white, with brown and blue details. The top and bottom sections have a similar beige background with a pattern of small, geometric shapes in brown and blue. The panel's background is gray.
