Fragment of Brocade

Cleveland Museum of Art

Fragment of Brocade by unknown artist. A blue rectangular piece of brocade with a floral pattern. The fabric is light blue and features a repeating design of flowers and leaves in shades of white, beige, and blue. The flowers are large and have many petals, while the leaves are smaller and more delicate. The fabric appears to be made of silk or another smooth material. The edges of the fabric are rough and uneven, suggesting that it may have been cut from a larger piece. The background behind the fabric is a plain gray color.
