Embroidered Cover

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Embroidered Cover by an unknown artist features a square piece of fabric with a gold background. The fabric has a repeating pattern of red flowers with green centers and blue and white leaves. The flowers and leaves are arranged in rows, with each row slightly offset from the one below it. The fabric appears to be made of a shiny material, possibly silk or satin, and has a decorative border around the edges. The border consists of a repeating pattern of small blue and white designs. The overall effect is one of intricate and detailed embroidery. The fabric is set against a plain white background.
