Fragment of a Border of a Shawl

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Fragment of a Border of a Shawl by unidentified artist shows a collection of three fabric pieces arranged to form an L-shape on a light gray background. The fabric has horizontal and diagonal stripes in various colors including maroon, green, blue, gold, and white; the fabric appears to be woven with a mix of thin and thicker stripes. The fabric pieces are frayed at the edges and have rough, torn appearances, indicating they are fragments. The largest piece is on the left, with a roughly rectangular shape and a jagged top edge; the two smaller pieces are on the right, one vertical and one horizontal, forming the L-shape. The fabric pieces are labeled with small black letters: "a" above the large piece, and "b" and "c" above the smaller pieces. In the top-left corner, small black text reads "1915.678". The image is a close-up, with the fabric pieces filling most of the frame.
