Sarape

Cleveland Museum of Art

Red Sarape by unknown artist. A round, red, woven textile with a scalloped edge and a geometric pattern. The pattern consists of concentric diamonds in shades of red and gold. The background of the textile is beige with small, evenly spaced red dots. A red border with a repeating pattern of small, teardrop shapes is at the bottom. The textile is symmetrical, with a small tassel hanging from the bottom. The overall design is intricate and ornate.
