Velvet Fragment

Cleveland Museum of Art

Velvet Fragment by Artist Unknown. The image shows a piece of fabric with a tan background and dark blue-green velvet design. The fabric is shaped irregularly, wider at one end and tapering to a narrower width before widening again. The design features intricate swirling patterns, including leaves and flowers. The velvet pile is short and plush, giving the design a raised appearance. The fabric's edges are rough and uneven, suggesting it is a fragment. The background behind the fabric is a light gray color.
