Velvet Fragment

Cleveland Museum of Art

Velvet Fragment by Artist Unknown. Square piece of fabric with a raised, patterned design. The background of the fabric is tan with a visible weave. The raised design is a dark teal color and appears to be a floral pattern. The design consists of large leaves and flowers that are densely arranged. The leaves are shaped like elongated teardrops with pointed tips. The flowers are rounded and have multiple petals. The edges of the fabric are rough and frayed. The fabric appears to be old and worn, with visible signs of aging and deterioration. The background behind the fabric is light gray.
