Moro Cloth

Cleveland Museum of Art

The textile "Moro Cloth" by an unknown artist features a predominantly dark brown and reddish-brown color scheme. The fabric has a central vertical panel with intricate light-brown designs on a darker background, flanked by two narrower panels with similar patterns. The central panel contains symmetrical designs with geometric shapes, including diamonds and zigzags. The fabric's edges have a striped pattern with thin red and light-brown stripes. The overall design is symmetrical, with a rough, frayed edge around the perimeter. The fabric appears to be woven with a mix of solid and patterned sections. The background of the image is light gray. The fabric's pattern and color scheme suggest a traditional or cultural design.
