Embroidered Towel

Cleveland Museum of Art

The embroidered towel, by an unknown artist, shows a rectangular, off-white fabric with a decorative embroidered border along the bottom edge. The fabric appears to be slightly wrinkled and has a few small stains. The border features a repeating pattern of pink, blue, orange, and white flowers and leaves in a diamond-shaped design, outlined in gold thread. A thin, gold sequined line borders the bottom of the embroidered section. Two identical sections of the towel are shown, one on top of the other. The background of the image is a light gray color.
