Fragment of a Clavus

Cleveland Museum of Art

The "Fragment of a Clavus" by an unknown artist shows a long, narrow piece of fabric with frayed edges. The fabric is beige with a central design that features dark blue, red, yellow, and green colors. The design consists of symmetrical, elongated shapes with curved lines and pointed ends, resembling leaves or flowers. Dark blue shapes with white outlines are on either side of the central design. The background of the fabric is a plain beige color. The fabric appears to be made of a rough, woven material, possibly linen or cotton. The overall appearance suggests an ancient or vintage textile fragment.
