Band from Towel

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a long, narrow piece of fabric with a repeating pattern. The fabric features a cream-colored background with a maroon design. The design consists of a border at the top and bottom, with a repeating pattern in the middle. The middle section contains a stylized animal, possibly a dragon or horse, facing left or right, with a building to one side. The animal has a long neck and tail, and appears to have a saddle or harness on its back. The building features multiple levels, windows, and a door. The maroon design also includes various shapes and patterns, such as leaves, flowers, and geometric motifs. The fabric appears to be made of a woven material, possibly silk or cotton, and has a rough, frayed edge along the top and bottom. The background of the image is a light gray color. The title of the piece is "Band from Towel" by an unknown artist.
