Embroidered Towel (Peshkir)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Embroidered Towel (Peshkir) features a light beige, rectangular piece of fabric with a subtle texture. The fabric has a large, empty central area with scattered light brown spots. The left and right sides have a decorative border, each comprising multiple narrow strips of fabric with intricate patterns. The patterns on the border include rows of small, repeating designs in shades of light brown, pink, and green. The border is outlined by a thin strip of fabric, and the edges of the towel have long, thin fringes in a light brown color. The background behind the towel is a solid light gray color.
