Moro Cloth

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Moro Cloth by the artist features a predominantly dark brown and maroon-colored fabric. The fabric is rectangular and appears to be handwoven or embroidered. The central panel of the fabric is dark brown with intricate light-brown designs. These designs are symmetrical and feature various geometric patterns, including chevrons and zigzags. The central panel is flanked by two narrower panels with similar geometric designs. The outer sections of the fabric feature vertical stripes in shades of maroon and dark brown, with thin light-brown stripes interspersed throughout. The edges of the fabric are rough and uneven, suggesting a handmade or traditional textile. The background behind the fabric is light gray.
