Cleveland Museum of Art

Fragment of a belt, hizam, by artist not specified. The object is a rectangular piece of fabric with frayed edges. The background of the fabric is salmon-colored with a repeating pattern. The pattern consists of rows of blue, red, and brown shapes, including six-pointed stars and floral motifs. Green and blue leaves are scattered throughout the design. The fabric appears to be made of woven material, possibly wool or cotton. The pattern is symmetrical, with identical designs repeated across the fabric. The colors are vibrant, with no visible fading or damage. The fabric has a thick, textured weave. The edges are rough and uneven, suggesting it is a fragment. The background behind the fabric is plain white. There are no visible signatures or markings on the fabric.
