Fragment of a Tiraz-Style Textile

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Fragment of a Tiraz-Style Textile by the artist shows a piece of fabric with a predominantly gold background. The fabric features a central band with a repeating pattern of diamond shapes containing circular motifs. The circular motifs are outlined in red and contain blue and green designs. The central band is bordered on top and bottom by bands with curvilinear designs in red, green, and blue on a gold background. The fabric appears to be worn and frayed, with some areas of discoloration and damage. The top and bottom of the fabric are rough and uneven, suggesting that it has been cut or torn. A large empty section is at the bottom. The background of the image is a solid beige color.
