Embroidered Square

Cleveland Museum of Art

The embroidered square by unknown artist features a white fabric background. The fabric is square in shape with a multicolored stitched border around the edges. The border consists of pink, green, brown and orange stitches. The main body of the square has a repeating pattern of two different flower designs. The larger flowers are beige with blue centers and eight beige curved petals around each center. The smaller flowers are pink with orange centers and eight pink curved petals around each center. The flowers are arranged in eight rows and eight columns. The flowers are evenly spaced and separated by small green leaves. The overall design is symmetrical. The fabric appears to be a textile piece with intricate embroidery work.
