Altar Frontal (?)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a long, narrow, floral embroidered textile, likely an altar frontal. The textile is rectangular and oriented vertically. The background of the textile is cream-colored. There are two thin, cream-colored borders on either side of the main design, and a wider decorative border on the outside edges. The main design features a repeating pattern of floral motifs in shades of pink, yellow, green, blue, and purple. The floral motifs are arranged in a symmetrical pattern. The outer border features a repeating pattern of small flowers and leaves in shades of pink, yellow, green, and blue. The edges of the textile are frayed. The textile appears to be made of fabric and features intricate embroidery. The overall design and style suggest it is an altar frontal by an unknown artist.
