Fragment of a furnishing textile

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular piece of fabric with a repeating pattern of red embroidery on a cream-colored background. The fabric is positioned horizontally, with frayed edges at the top and bottom. The embroidery features a repeating pattern of diamonds and flowers in a deep red color. The diamonds are arranged in a row, each containing a flower-like design. The diamonds are outlined in red and have a white interior line. The flowers have a central circle surrounded by radiating petals. The background of the fabric is a plain cream color. The fabric appears to be made of a natural fiber such as linen or cotton. The overall design is symmetrical, with identical patterns repeating across the fabric.
